Leaving a warm car on cold days
It’s got much chillier all of the sudden, over the past week or so! I get cold quite easily, but it’s not only me who’s started to wear thicker clothes and wonder where summer went.
Thankfully, my car warms up quickly once it’s turned on, so on my way to work it’s really very pleasant – I feel toasty.
This, however, has a downside. Although it’s nice getting in after walking to it from my front door, getting out again to walk into the office is not as easy.
By the time I’ve got to work, my car has warmed me through to the core, and I feel like climbing over the front seats and curling up at the back for the rest of the day.
I can’t do that, unfortunately, so I open the door and I’m hit by a wall of cold air. It’s not pleasant, and, as the year draws closer to its end, it’s only going to get worse.
Why does my car have to be so cosy?
I think that in the future, cars should be fitted with an acclimatisation system, which would ever-so-gently cool the inside of the car to the temperature outside, so that leaving your vehicle wouldn’t be such a shock.

Car spa
It’s finally spring! It feels as if it’s been months since we’ve had weather this warm – well I guess it has been.
To celebrate I’m going to be wearing more skirts and sandals, and I’m giving my car a spring clean so that it’s lovely and shiny.
Walking out onto the driveway a few days ago I was shocked at how dusty and muddy my vehicle looked in the bright sunshine, so it’s time it had a wash.
I won’t be spending money going to a car wash either. No, it’s the bucket and sponge for my car.
The way I see it, it carries me around a lot so the least I could do is spend some quality time with it which doesn’t involve driving anywhere. I’m giving it a spa-day of sorts.
Come to think of it, a spa day sounds like a lovely idea! I hope my little car doesn’t mind driving me there…at least it will be able to show off its nice clean exterior by then.
