New Year’s Eve was eventful. We had borrowed a car from Colin and had used it to travel to and from friends over the Christmas period. Fiona invited us for a New Year get together. However the car broke just as we arrived. It would not go into gear with the engine running. I spent the evening fretting and eventually calmed down with the aid of Prosecco.
The next day a plan had been hatched. We were to try to get it fixed using Sally’s breakdown cover. This didn’t work because it didn’t cover the car which was a shame. The good news was that Ken’s mechanic friend took a look and sorted out the issue. Phew!
So we were able to spend the rest of the day relaxing at the ice skating rink in Worthing before heading back to London.
Today I have been removing the tree from the lounge and clearing up the millions of needles left behind. I think that will be enough chorage for the day. Tomorrow is my first day back at work. I’m toying with the idea of cycling the whole journey. I haven’t done that in at least a year. It could be the start of a new healthy regime…or not. Let’s see!
