Mine also intermittently gives a warning sound, something like "ploing ploing". It can be gone for weeks, it can ploing just once, or it can keep ploinging for ten minutes sometimes.
But not even a light to go with it to indicate what it wants to tell me so I've been ignoring this behaviour for years. Apparently it's just part of the ever evolving personality of my now elderly car.
It does. I all started in december when my car suddenly stopped working. Brought it to the mechanics who found out the small holes to let out water in the space under the window wipers were clogged, and the space was filled with water, very close to electrical stuff. They cleaned it but the car didn't work. It was the end of the day, so my car spent the night in their heated workplace, and the next day it worked again, more or less!
A few weeks later it had issues again, so I checked and cleaned every fuse I could find, and it worked again!
Another week later it would start sometimes, and sometimes not, keeping planning interesting. Thank heavens for friendly neighbours who often don't need their car!
At some point I found out the trick is in the ceiling light: car starts if light is on but not if light is off. Occasionally the light won't go on, but usually the trick is to turn the whole system off and back on by disconnecting the battery for a few seconds.
All fine with me, I can live with that, let's hope the mechanics are of the same opinion...
Not sure, it's called pinksteren in the Netherlands, it has something to do with the descent of the Holy Spirit, but that's about all I know.
In my country, this descent must have been a bit slow, just like the birth of Christ, because we have 1st and 2nd kerstdag (Christmas day) and 1st and 2nd pinksterdag. All those days are mandatory days off in many professions.
Wikipedia says Pentecost is the same as Whitsun, so I'm completely confused now.

They are doing amazing with their two mums!
Mum Duck supervises the swimming, but they prefer to sleep under Mum Chicken. Both mums follow the ducklings around the garden all day.
I had a short day at work today, nothing more to do after painting the deck but wait for the paint to dry. So I called my neighbour to pick me up after I'd dropped off my car for wednesdays MOT. A bit early, but neighbour will be away for two days working on the island of Terschelling, and he had the day off today so now was the best moment to drop off the car.
Back home it was more wood hauling. Yesterday we filled (and emptied) 5 trailers of heavy wood, today we did 3 more, almost finished now. I'm sure my neighbour has enough firewood for the whole winter now!

I definitely reached any exercise goals I could possibly have over the past 3 days.
