I need some wind — or a car

The Land Ship, invented by Dr Wilkins, Bishop of Chester, in 1648
.
I'm seriously considering getting one of these, there is a tiny problem though. The wind — where do I find the wind? Do you think it easier to find two strong guys?

The 'Kago' Japanese travelling chair, 1890.

Or horses, but I'm not a horse person — I do love them, but I have no idea how to care for them. And where should I keep them? Don't you think this treadmill bus looks intriguing — if I had one of them I could invite people on my trips.

The Treadmill Bus, invented in 1824 by William Francis Snowdon
.
Transportation is a problem! The car didn't start today — again. So I had to hurry in an cancel an appointment — and two more later this week, as I don't know when I'll have a care that will cope. It's rather frustrating and I have to admit that I wasn't happy!


But I don't think my darling is sorry to miss the vet's appointment tomorrow!

  2. Val,
    Well, I appreciate that I don't have to leave the house - I love to potter around not having to think of any appointments.

  3. Tried to convince my son that he should get a treadmill bus instead of a Golf TDI, but no success, though he says it's :lovely".

    Hope your car problems are resolved soon and not expensively!

  4. Kristi,
    Yes, the treadmill bus is lovely - but that's perhaps all it is..
    I'm still waiting to get help with the car, praying I can afford it!

  5. Your cat really looks so much like mine :-)
    Which reminds me - I have to let her in now for the night, it is way too cold for Madame's liking to stay outside for longer than 2 hours.

  6. Your darling is much braver than mine. He has only recently started to spend some time (10 or 15 minutes) on the verandah every day.
