Yesterday we headed off to Mid Valley Shopping Centre, about 60 km (38 miles) from home, to do a bit of shopping. I wanted to but a new pair of school shoes for No.1 son. Boy did we have a terrible time, well maybe not terrible but very unfortunate. The car was making this weird noise and there was smoke coming out of the exhaust. I pulled over straight away just outside of Morwell. I am so grateful that Mark was with me though because I wouldn't have known what to do! Thankfully all that was wrong was a broken heater hose and Mark was able to repair it once we made it into town and bought the parts and the tools he required for the job. It was a real blessing that it wasn't something more serious.
We did manage to make it to BigW where the shoes were on sale and then we went straight home. I got Mark to drive though as I didn't trust the car at that stage just in case something else went wrong.
Today I took No2. son with me to Lang Lang to organise his new glasses. Thankfully everything went right today but I was very wary about driving the car such a long way but everything was fine. At least the little dude is very happy about his new glasses and we should be able to collect them next week.
