Just another oil change.....well read on
You are lying under the Puma with the filter housing inhand complete with new filter and engine oil. You are manouvering it with the greatest care so as not to spill any oil. Suddenly you hear the pitter patter of rain drops on the roof of the Puma. Next thing you hear is the kitchen door opening and the pitter patter of the wife's feet as she runs for the clothes line peg basket inhand. Next you hear a shriek as the aforementioned wife rushes around the front of the Puma and falls over your exposed feet. Wife, peg basket and pegs come raining down.
The previously mentioned oil filter housing, complete with new filter and engine oil that was once so precariously balanced now gets upset by the shock of someone unceremoniously threading on your exposed feet. The results are best left to the imagination.....

I presume your reaction was "Gosh dear! Are you ok? Let me help you with that washing." 👍

Oh man... Laughing

That moment when you're both expecting 'obvious' help from each other and not getting it. Solved the bowel problem, working on the consonants...

With three Land Rovers you'd think she may expect a set of feet poking out from under at least one of them at any given time?

All in jest obviously, I hope she is OK, and the washing made it in without too much oil contamination? Solved the bowel problem, working on the consonants...
