Summer time and the weather is awful

That's must be because I'm on holiday. Its just some time to catch up with life - repairs and things I've been promising to do for people.

Liz has a new car. The bank of Mum & Dad has helped with the purchase, but its one of the few banks that does not lend to unreliable customers, so that should be OK. She had tried to buy a slightly cheaper one, but they sold it before she made up her mind. Still its good news - she had lost faith in the other one - too many creaks and groans.

I spent the morning researching broadband contracts for friends at church. Where have all the small specialist providers gone? There used to be loads. I guess the industry is maturing.

Yesterday I travelled home by bus from the garage where we bought our car - it was in for its four year service (1st year for us), and back again in the evening to pick it up. The car was due to be ready at 5pm, I arrived at 5pm EXACTLY. Two buses, and a stop in the middle to buy the season ticket for getting to work. I was amazed. The service went well and the MOT was passed, so it is all legal.

I was going to go out, but it is still raining - I'll just have to shop on-line!!
