Sunday

Good morning.  Round here yesterday was a very blustery day with some strong winds and some very heavy showers.  This morning it is really rather cold so, early as it is, I have turned up the heating.  Today I woke at around three, which is really absolutely ridiculous and I am hoping I can get another hour in soon before getting up properly and starting the day.

So - I have my new babe and I realise I haven't really said very much about her.  So here we go.

It's another Peugeot, a 208 Style.  I got on so well with my 306 I wanted another Peugeot if at all possible.  It is four months old and had 3 (yes, three) on the mileometer.  However, it's counted as second hand because it was bought as a quota car, initially owned by the garage.  I got a chunk off for 'depreciation' and then another chunk off because it was a saleroom car so it was a fantastic bargain and, for this if for nothing else, I consider myself very, very lucky.

The only thing I would have chosen differently was the colour but there wasn't any choice in the matter!  Dark grey is OK

The road tax for the 306 was £140 last year.  For the 208 it is £20.  So she's already starting to pay for herself, so to speak.

That's about it really.  I enjoyed driving yesterday for the first time in quite a while which says it all.

Apart from that it was a lazy day with a snooze.
