- The Nissan garage have really got attached to my car and don,t want to give it back to me. It should have been ready last Friday tea time but was,nt, it then stood in the garage all the Bank Holiday and was to be ready this afternoon. After a dozen irate phone calls I finally got some sense at 1725 hrs saying, " its finished now but we,re just closing, pick it up in the morning". Great, thats the 6th morning I,ve missed Fly Flatts and then an appointment Thursday morning means a week away.
- I got a courtesy car after a struggle because of Corvid 19 but then I got the rules of no dogs in the car and if it comes back mucky theres a charge of £100 for it to be cleaned, so that rules out Fly Flatts down the muddy track, with or without dogs.
- A short vis mig session from Foxhill was very quiet though around 80 Meadow Pipits were heading >S down the Aire Valley.
- At least I,ve caught up to, and got in front of, all my jobs at home .
