Flat tire (tyre?)
Heh, I'm probably going to mix american and british english in this post, so please bear with me if I butcher your language a little ;)
Ah, anyway. I came home yesterday and noticed the right back tyre (see?) of my car was low on air pressure. I wasn't too concerned about it because that tyre always lost the air faster than the others, and usually a quick stop at the gas station fixed the problem for another two months or so. This morning, though, I found the tyre completely flat, so I decided to leave the car in the garage and go by bus. This left me half an hour late for work, but that's not really a problem. I can catch up on the lost time easily on my next home office day, which won't be too long, due to the strike at Deutsche Bahn.
I walked home from the train station, since the bus wasn't coming for another ten minutes and the connection at the next bus stop would be another fifteen minutes of waiting. It took me about thirty minutes to get home (the bus caught up with me five minutes before I reached home).
So when I came home today I went into the garage, got out the car-jack and the spare wheel and replaced the flat tyre. Tomorrow I will change for winter tyres anyway, so it's not really a problem having three summer sports tyres and one winter replacement tyre on the car :D
It was too late to go and buy some food, so we ordered pizza and salad for a change :) It was good, as always.
It seems, since I started this live journal I keep running into things I can write about ... I considered closing the journal to see, if those things were going away ;) Anyone else noticed that?
