Morning, everyone. It's cool and dull this morning; I've just been to get something from the shed and it is drizzling and feels damp. However, there are blue patches in the sky so I am guessing it will cheer up shortly.
I've picked the bowlful of tomatoes for the day - they are keeping me going quite nicely at the moment and there's still plenty more to come, hopefully.
Yesterday was a pretty quiet day. The company came to pick up the car and dropped it back several hours later, all clean and shiny (they do a valet at the end as 'part of the service'), MOT-ed, air con, 'sanitised' and 'refreshed' (whatever that involved), oil changed, and so on.
Everything was in good condition and, apart from the air con thing which I had requested because it was getting a bit whiffy when I turned it on, everything came out green.
I thought that would be the case. I haven't experienced any problems whatsoever - but you never know. One of these days, things will start going wrong and then I will have to ponder getting a replacement, I expect.
For now though, no problems.
Chris came round and we had a good old natter, as usual. We laughed a lot over something. At the weekends, she had some friends round who I also know from teaching days - she was the bursar and he was on the Governing Body. I smiled and waved to them from across the cul-de-sac and they waved back but rather uncertainly. When they went in, they asked 'do we know the lady over the road? She seemed to know us.'
Of course, I have changed a lot from school days - almost half the size and my hair was very long then. Chris said they were so mortified when she said it was me and asked her to apologise - but we thought it was hilarious!
The rest of the day was a potting sort of day - I did the cooking for the SW taster session this morning and, for once, tidied up straight away afterwards! I finished one sock and started the other. And I ordered a few needed items from Amazon.
Today starts with SW and the taster session. I enjoy these sessions - people bring in such a variety of things. We're also voting on the 'Woman of the Year' for our group. Oh, the excitement!
Then I have to get the house ready for the cleaners and I have a stack of washing to do so fingers crossed for cooperative weather!
So that's today. Things are very much strolling from day to day at the moment and that is fine by me. I like an easy life
Have a good day yourself, whatever you have planned. xx
How good to have the car valeted as part of the service - I'll have to suggest that to my mates at the repair place, but I know I'd get a very short reply!
ReplyDeleteHave a good day
It's a nice touch, isn't it? Thanks, you too. xx
DeleteI love garages that return your car to you all nice and clean and valeted inside and out, a service I've not had since we lived down South.
ReplyDeleteIt is really nice and I appreciate it no end. xx
DeleteLove the sound of a shiny clean car. What are your plans for the weekend?
ReplyDeleteI don't really have any although I might go for a walk in the park tomorrow morning - there isn't a scheduled one but we missed last week because of the heat so why not. :-) xx
DeleteHow neat that they brought your car back to you after it was cleaned. That is such a nice service.
ReplyDeleteIt is good. They've always done it and it's just one of those nice little extras. xx
DeleteThat's a nice reminder of just how much you've changed physically since you started your weight loss journey. Have you always done SW?
ReplyDeleteIt's good news that the car passed the MoT and very nice to get the car returned all squeaky clean as well.
I hope today is going well for you and that your weigh in showed the scales heading in the right direction. xx
Maintained today but I'm OK about that - I was a bit bunged up this morning anyway! No, I haven't always done SW, I'll try and remember to mention it tomorrow in the post. xx
DeleteSounds like a good day. Glad everything was okay with the car. Sometimes they turn out to be quite expensive!
ReplyDeleteCan't they just!!! A major service isn't cheap but has to be done, it's part of owning a car but I was so glad there was nothing more. I've had it for a while now and it's a great little car. xx
