The car is GONE! I don’t expect to be paid much of anything
for it – it’s 18 years old. The main thing is that I now don’t have to pay the
insurance bill which has just come in, plus the other springtime car bills soon
to arrive. That’s something done – or will be, when I’ve cancelled the standing
order to the insurance company.
In searching out its papers, I found two old American
driving licenses of mine (my first? I don’t quite think so) and my first
British one. All rather touching, but is there any point in keeping them?
I have proceeded with working in ends on the Virus Scarf. I’m
not quite half way along. It’s pretty boring. I’ve got reasonable amounts of
every colour left – I could have left longer ends, which would have made things
a bit easier.
The package from Carol Sunday is on its way.
Here is Perdita, earlier today, not helping with a hand of
Freecell. She excelled herself with her grasp of key combinations. By the time
I had coaxed her off with a late lunch – I would just have batted Paradox to
the floor – she had switched me into the Greek alphabet, changed the screen
resolution so that everything looked squashed, and turned the sound off. She’s
a very clever cat.
Oh, well done on the car front, Jean. that will be a weight off your mind.
ReplyDeleteAmazing story about my husband's step-mother. She had not driven for eleven years when my husband's father died - they were in their early 80s. She bought a small car for herself and parked it on the drive where it remained undriven for the next five years. She had it taken away - and then, on impulse, bought another, which again she did not drive. We were speechless.
Oh my, I first read "batted" as "battled" and had such mental images!
ReplyDeleteBetter to have the leftovers than to be wishing you had left shorter ends.
Looks like Perdita might be jealous of your keyboard:).
