Here in my car

Yesterday was a busy day.

With Magda off the road I've learnt how much I rely on my car. I can't just pop out for 5 minutes. Now I need to plan things down to the last detail. a 20 minute visit to town would now take a minimum of 60 minutes, whether I walk or use the bus.

Yesterday was a case in point. Dad was going to look at the new house with me. I couldn't get an appointment at short notice with either of the estate agents and he was going on holiday today. So we decided to look at the outside only and see what we could from the windows.

As dad was a surveyor it would be important to get his feedback before considering such a major commitment. Who wants to waste X thousand on a house that needs work done?

So I then had to rely on dad giving me a lift to the house. Well, 12 miles is a long way to walk.

The upshot was that he's given his qualified ok. Now we can get on with the next stage of things and get the financing in place.
