Sadly the car is still not with us - I had thought that it was being picked up today, but it transpires that it needed a bit of work and the garage were hopeful we could have picked it up today. So instead HD will have to pick it up tomorrow, and due to a series of circumstances it looks like the kitchen will be the recycling repository for a while longer yet as the proposed trip to the tip can't happen.
Why wobbly? Well, those circumstances alluded to above are to blame. HD has had real problems getting a job in Scotland and so has had to accept a temp job in England. It starts on Wednesday, so tomorrow he picks up the car and then gives it a rather long test run. Fortunately this job is near his sister's place so he can stay there, and it's only till the end of March, and we'll see each other each weekend, so it's not like it's the end of the world or anything. But I'm still a bit wobbly thinking about it - I hate Tuesdays anyway (teaching day) and the thought of leaving him in the morning, having a crap day at work and then coming home and he's not here is just too awful. We'd thought that getting married meant that the long-distance-ness was all behind us, but at least for now it's not, not yet. It means he's had to set himself up as a self-employed contractor, so no doubt next January's blog will hear rumblings and moanings about tax returns. Eek! In the meantime, I'll try not to be too self-indulgent and moany on this blog (not least because he reads it so it won't exactly cheer him up - it's not only me that's sad) but the occasional whinge or whimper may emanate, just occasionally.
