In a short time W131 BOV will be picked up its new owner.
At 16 years old (11 of those under our ownership) and nearly 190,000 miles under its wheels it still remains reliable without a hint of body rot. The MOT tester (I always go to the same place) is always impressed.
In 2005 or 2006 a hand print appeared on the paintwork next to the offside rear door. Son #1 (aged 5 or 6 at time) had placed his full hand with sun cream residue on the panel - the chemicals in some sun creams or lotions can damage a car’s lacquer layer... and that's what happened.
The print never washed or polished off despite years of cleaning and polishing.
Now in 2016 (Son #1 is nearly 16 years old), I've got him to place his (now at least 3 times bigger) hand next to the print.
I wanted to keep W131 BOV until it got to 200,000 miles but the time came to change to in a considered manner rather than having to rush if the V70 developed an uneconomical fault - and buying a new car is hardly a quick or straightforward task.
I'm sure there are many, many more miles left in W131 BOV.
We have replaced it with another Volvo estate.

Ten years ago my mother died.
This's me - the day before that, last day at school. I've got no pictures of her, so - so that is all. No creative today.
So I've been l ooking for a good antique document to include in my still life photography. Although there are sources out there, I couldn't really find one that suited me or my price range.
As I was Googling, it hit me... why not print one of the many photos? After moderate tweaking and aging in Paint Shop Pro, I came up with what I think is a reasonable facsimile.
Vásárhelyi Hetek programsorozat, 1984. október 5. - november 6. Műsorfüzet - érdekes kordokumentum...
An interesting document on our past - a Fall month program leaflet from 1984.
Pioneer troop diary of our unit from the early 80's, in Socialist-era Hungary. Notable events were recorded by the chronicle-keeper from class 5 to 8 (ages 10 to 14) - cheerful events in our class and the impact of soviet / communist propaganda can all be traced here...
Úttörő őrsünk naplója a nyolcvanas évek első feléből, a szocializmus idejéből. Az aktuális krónikás feljegyezte az osztályunk emlékezetes eseményeit, valamint megemlékezett a kommunista propaganda által megkívánt ünnepekről, évfordulókról.

Bergen-Belsen..
I've been here several times and I'm sure I'll visit again on my travels up North... Unexpectedly, it is always a place where I enjoy taking photographs. Perhaps it is something to do with all the space and the fact that it is often very quiet and sparsely populated.

ADR is awesome.
I'm not telling you this because I'm an ADR practitioner and geek, but because I do think it's a good idea.
ADR (Alternative Dispute Resolution) refers to the myriad different, often very tailored, procedures to enable dispute resolution outside court. This encompasses mediation (where an impartial mediator helps the parties achieve an agreement), arbitration (where an umpire is appointed by the parties to decide the dispute), adjudication (similar to arbitration, mostly used in the construction context), conciliation (used mainly in the employment context, it refers to a procedure similar to mediation), and so on. In many ways, it's a new animal - it has only had its current formidable importance since the Civil Procedure Rules 1998 - before litigation, parties will need to either try ADR or have a damn good reason why they didn't, or face having to pay their own costs even if they win. In other ways, it's age-old - the protagonist of the Brennu-Njals Saga is a mediator named Njal who, unenviably, gets torched for his activities.
Why do I think ADR is cool? For a number of things. It's best summarised by this: it is cheap, and as cheerful as an adversarial affair gets. It is also faster in most cases, and importantly, it can give remedies which a court cannot. I've seen people sue others for every last penny of theirs when all they wanted was an apology - no court can order an apology, but arbitrators can. Mediators love telling war stories. To me, however, the main advantage is its distinct lack of drama.
Litigation in courts is a bit like Amy Winehouse. Ego-laden, loud, dramatic, hysterical and sometimes containing more blow than is strictly recommended. It's glamorous, but loud and at times annoying.
ADR is like Beethoven. It's powerful but in an understated, harmonic way. It's out to make you think and feel without shouting at you. It's majestic but in a reserved way. It can be loud. Hell, it *CAN* be loud. But it never shouts for shouting's sake.
I've seen my share of both regimes. I like ADR. I appreciate that it is not appropriate everywhere (areas with a 'third-party' or 'public' interest like child care or crime are absolute areas of exclusion. In some cases, where things just got bitter, ADR is not appropriate, either. But for the cases where it is appropriate, it is a wonderful and cheap-as-chips method of dispute resolution.
You know what else is cheap and cheerful? The little document tags I wrote AWESOME! on. I got them from the wonderful @cardiffbites, and they brightened my day. Most of my books are pretty heavily tagged with them. Sometimes I just tag things because I love the colours. Sometimes we all need a little colour in our lives, and sometimes something very cheap and simple will do - cheap and cheerful. A hug, a smile, a few kind words all cost nothing. Small, colourful things are cheap as chips. Yet they can do so much for someone's mood.
So give someone you love something cheap and cheerful today. Or just hug them. It's good for their health, too.
(and the next time you want to go to court, get mediation instead - keep my profession alive)
