Lost Gas Cap

Filling the Lada up with gas is an easy task but sometimes the distraction lead to problems as it did today.

Opening the car boot and unscrewing a plastic cap to reveal the system that the petrol station gas nozzle fits into fill the tank. This was usual as I went to top up 10 lev of gas into the tank. The attendant started speaking to me and today that was the distraction as I tended to his conversation.

The problem is always apparent at this moment, as the whereabouts of plastic cap that I had unscrewed somehow had totally gone out of my head. Sometime I put is in my pocket other times I lay it on the side to the boot, even on occasions I put it on the driver seat as I get my wallet out from the dashboard shelf. Today though it had disappeared, never to be seen again like real magic!

Will I ever see it again? Time will tell, but in the meantime I just hope that the gas doesn't leak without the cap in place.
