Exhaust..ed!!

Today has centered around VT's exhaust system. Not his, but his cars. It was booked in for a new exhaust early this morning, so he went ofgf to the garage in Crosby quite early, coming back on the local bus for breakfast. He expected to get it back at lunchtime, so we did bits and pieces waiting for the phone call. That came to say that it needed a part called a Lambda which is something to do with the catalytic convertor. It wouldn't be ready till after three o'clock when the part arrived.
VT checked the bus times to find they changed after lunch so it was a good job he did, it is only a little local bus and doesn't run very often, about once an hour.
Just as he set off, the garage rang to say his car was ready. Isn't that always the way.
He is back now and says it drives like a new car. It isn't it is 16 years old, but he has had it from new, and really looked after it.
Really funny weather today. Dullish this morning, then at lunchtime it went really dark, so much so we had to put lights on, and we had a terrific rainstorm with hailstones and everything. Now, as I type this, it is bright sunshine. What a country!
So that has been our day today..a sort of mish mash.But no matter, we have all the time in the world.
Tonight we are having:
Escalope with gruyere cheese,
Cauliflower and broccoli with mushrooms and a few potatoes, done in a gratin sauce.
