It was a day for him getting his car sorted today. He got up early and went off to Formby to the industrial estate to get his brakes fixed. the plan was to go in the car obviously, and get a bus which does a circular tour of Formby including the station so he could get the train home. Well that all went well, and I was amazed to see that he had arrived home at ten past ten! he said all the buses and trains were on time so he got home in good time. He thought it would have been most of the day, but the chap from the garage rang him at twelvish to say that it was ready. new brake pipes and the tracking done. £117 which seems quite reasonable.So off he went back again after checking on the bus and train timetables . You can do that online now which is really good and useful. The trains run every fifteen minutes and the buses every thirty so it's a case of getting them co-ordinated. Anyway he did that and was back again at about twenty to one all done with his car back to normal. He'll sleep well tonight!
He has spent some time today looking at the electricity bill, it turns out that it is a minefield. Standing sharges or no standing charges? cheap tarriffs or not etc etc.,. Work in progress.
Tonight we are having:
Remaining potatoes baked and squashed
carrots, broccoli and mushrooms
Something from the freezer.
