More good and bad things

[vilakins]

Very Bad: I've been home ill with what has developed into a severe chest infection, and until now could barely raise the energy to read let alone sit at a computer.

Bad: My car was backed into by a sweet old lady while I was at work a couple of weeks ago. Luckily she admitted it was all her fault to her insurance company but that didn't stop mine trying to get $300 excess off me. They didn't.

Good: The three-months-old Collision Management place run by several insurance companies including mine took care of it. You drop your car there (or they tow it there), they get panelbeaters and painters to go round and quote, they do everything for you including quality checking, and will even hire you a rental car at a very reasonable rate. I got one for $15 a day.

Bad: I've been too ill for the last five days to drive the thing.

Good: For some time the paint was been peeling from the roof of my car--a fault in the application of the paint and protective coating of that model and year--and I've taken the opportunity to get that fixed too, and a lot cheaper than I'd thought. My car has a B7 numberplate, sad as I am, but I'll be glad that I will no longer have to explain that Avon stole the keys and drove it through an enzyme cloud.

Bad bad bad: The B7 season 2 DVDs are due out on 17 January next year. Just after I ordered them along with the latest Neal Stephenson which was due out around the same date as they were meant to be. Will the suits at the beeb keep this latest date, I ask myself? I won't hold my breath.

Oh dear. Very sorry to hear all the bad bits, and hope you improve soon.

I really hope you feel better soon. Don't dwell on the release date being postponed, there is nothing that can be done about it, so just look that little bit further head for it. It will be worth the wait x

Argh, naughty lungs :( Hope you feel better soon.

A weak chest is one more thing I have in common with Vila.

Sorry to hear you're not well. I hope you feel better soon!

I'm really not surprised about the DVDs. Not after the last time.

Please get better soon! But use the downtime to dream up more wonderful stories.

Sorry to here you've been ill, I hope you get better soon.

As for the B7 DVD, blame that on me. I put in my order the day before the news of the delay came out, I did the same thing with series one. For series three I'm waiting untill it is actually in the shops before I even think of buying it.
