Timing is Everything

This is a bit of a double-barrelled post.

Firstly, yes - I do need to sort out the timing on Olivia. I've been looking long and hard for a local Series specialist who can give me a push in the right direction by doing a thorough test of a number of things, and a change of a few other things. I may have found one - if I can just get him to talk to me. And timing will be sorted.

But there's another timing issue here too. I'm still settling into the new job/home routine and my weekends, which used to be mostly free to do whatever whenever, have become filled up with other things. Clogged up, more like it - leaving me a lot less time than I'd like to work on Olivia, to get her to where I want her to be in terms of becoming my daily drive.

I sit here and can see her right outside my window, patiently waiting for attention. I get going on small jobs now and then, but I'm still struggling to fit in the big ones, to cut off one large block of a day and tackle the to-do list.

Tonight I'm feeling especially guilty. I'm not going to have everything done in time to join the Landy expidition on Friday that I was hoping to. I can give you the long list of excuses as to why, but it boils down to Timing. Both Olivia's and mine.

I'll get it right eventually....I have to. Before I get any more frustrated.

And here's after!





Took some doing, but it looks great.
