I took my car to the garage last week as the central locking wasn't functioning, which meant that I couldn't lock it at all. It has been repaired, but in the course of this has demonstrated Life Lessons that I could have done without, namely:

* sometimes it doesn't matter that something has been maintained in good condition or had light use, the passage of time also ages things.

* hooking it up to the machine that confirms the faulty door is door X rather than believing your client who thinks - for good reason - that the faulty door is Y, but is mistaken, saves time.

But most of all:

* don't design a car without the capacity to turn off the central locking function and just operate each door with a key!

The other Life Lesson of the past fortnight is that however good an idea a dentist appointment at 8am on a Saturday may seem in theory, in practice, I deeply regretted that life choice. That's 100% my fault though, and will I learn from this triumph of hope over experience? I doubt it.
