Girl With The Green Wand

The Green Wand! Where is it?

Presently I'm painting my 2 bedroom villa. Not really such a hard task given I've had years of experinece painting. To the point that some years ago I had a BSA License to prove it.

In time gone by I've also plastered and tiled. After learning the basics and perfecting them I then went on to do paid jobs for plastering and tiling not to mention painting.

Why am I writing this blog?

Well, it's simple!

I can tile, plaster and paint (had the license remember) but one thing that is really urking me is I bought a new car last March (March 2009) and I listen to radio 4BC from 5.00am (sometimes 4.00am) till 6.00pm (it's getting worse cause now I go to sleep with the radio on) BUT I so hate missing out on the radio station.

Sound like something out of the ordinary? Not so!

I like to keep up to date with what's happening about various issues (sometimes too many) and 4BC is my way of keeping up with the latest and better still they are a talk back radio station so real people get to listen and hear real opinions! All of the announcers on the station are obviously educated and are up to date with relevant issues and that's why I like the station.

This is not a blog about 4BC whilst it may appear that way.

My real issue at present is that my new car as mentioned above, just bought new in March can't/won't play am radio. A thing of the past some might say. A definate fault I say and one that I'm not willing to accept. Whilst I'm willing to complain that my am radio won't work and more than willing to complain I've missed the Real Estate talk back and Alex Bernard on Saturday arvo, I'm quite within my rights I should think that I should be able to expect that something so simple as am radio should work in my new vehicle.

Ok, I know things could be worse! I could be driving down the highway with cruise contol on and have the car take control of itself. Oh, doesn't happen? Yes it does.

I've newer used cruise control and never will. In fact in my new car, God knows how, but all of a sudden I notice cruse control was on and I couldn't turn it off. Didn't look at the manual before driving my car because I was too busy working and I had the assumtion that if you put your foot on the brake it turns off automatically. NOT SO!

I had to pull the car up along side the road and have a look at every gadget. Do you think I could find it? No! I then turned the engine off thinking that it would canecel. Did that happen? No!

I had to sit there for 15 mins. and press every button under the sun to find out what would cancel the cruse control.

I'm so upset because I can't get the radio on am but can get fm and haven't yet had the time to take the car to the supplier to have the FAULT rectified.

Where of where is the Green Wand?
