elegance

 In the morning call the repair shop on the phone, the car was running irregularly yesterday. In fact, it runs really roughly when it is cold. Try to explain, but the expert mechanic only hears that which would fit his knowledge easily. It is a hard thing to demonstrate, for it only happens when the car is cold. And how can a car be brought to a mechanic without warming up the engine?

He rings back and says that the parts for the car will be there early afternoon.

Do a few things around the house, and then take the car to the workshop. This repair shop is almost ten kilometres away.

The mechanic is there and he looks at the car, and looks at the delivered parts. He considers that there is a seal missing. This will make it impossible to repair the car before Monday. After thinking, and discussing, and then thinking again decide to leave the car on the premises, they can experience the cold starting difficulties themselves, and not give their customer strange looks any more.

On the way back, stop at the airport restaurant. Watch the aircraft outside, they are small private aircraft and there are a few flying school operations under way, Have a small meal.

Cevapcici are naked sausages, and they are served in the traditional way with rice.


And then walk the ten kilometres back home, through the forests and the meadows beside the river. 

Arrive back at home in the dark, and be delighted that the son has returned home for the weekend. He is becoming rather elegant now, it must be the university company.
