Scrap
I couldn’t believe how quick it took people in the office to come over to tell me about the governments new “£2k for old cars if you scrap them and buy a new one” policy announced in the Budget.
I wasn’t interested, even though I currently have four cars that qualify for the scheme…

Easter Island head, St Helens
Modern art has arrived in St Helens, it is called “Dream”. On the top of the spoil heap from Sutton Manor Colliery is a new concrete easter island stylee head. I do hope the foundations are piled considering where it is located! I wonder how much it cost for an artist to come up with the idea of doubling the vertical dimension whilst retaining the horizontal.
I actually prefer the sculpture if it had been left in perspective and I hadn’t just halved the height of the image. I suppose then it wouldn’t be art… just a head.

Lack of mortar error
I had expected a quiet day finishing off the repairs to the conservatory. I seem to have made the mistake of inspecting the mortar joints on the chimney stack though. How is it standing up with so little mortar, I don’t know. It is lucky is isn’t a windy day – perfect weather for sitting on the main roof and carrying out some prompt repairs.

New Car
I took my new company car for a spin last night – I think the councils promotion of eco-cars might be going a bit too far however!
