I have neglected Agatha over these past few weeks. The ravages of winter blistered her skin, the dirt penetrating her smooth pearlescent blush like a filthy hobo seeking refuge in a wheelie bin.
Today was an opportunity to right a wrong; to apply some love and affection and it's not even Valentines (is this sounding creepy, purvy or both?). So I decided to arm myself with bucket, sponge and a healthy dose of turtlewax and rid her of the filth, only...
It was 0 degrees. Nothing. Zilch. The hose was blocked with ice and it was school pick up time; the mild embarassment of trying to wet a car with a dribble (hoestly, I was flicking it from the hose to try and generate some sort of moisture) while teenagers mocked is not a situation that I want to repeat. And so as I worked I was oblivous to the fact that the water was freezing up on the bodywork just worked over, my feet were developing frostbite having been placed in the crappy DIY shoes (we've all got them!) with holes in and attempting to chamois the bodywork and picking up ice crystals just wasn't working for me.
Honestly, what did I expect?
Anywho, Agatha is tip-top again and I've learnt my lesson. I will, however, never...ever...take her to the car wash.
