I rose at 6.30, handed my car over for MOT at 6.45, decided to use my time wisely (reading blogs) and just went to answer a knock on the door. It was the car – returned with its new MOT Certificate. That is what I call service. If you ever need a car fixing in Nottingham, try Hillcrest Garage. I’ve been using them for years, and though they recently had to move, they are still a great garage.
I’m feeling a lot more alert than I was last night but have hit a new challenge -now that the car is back, should we go for a drive in the countryside or should I stay and write. I know what I should do, but Julia deserves a day out and we do have air conditioning in the car, which is more than we do in the house.
Decisions, decisions . . .
That was easy. We’re going out.First stop – McDonalds for breakfast, then I’m not sure what. If we go anywhere too nice it will be full people. If we go somewhere that isn’t crowded it’s probably not worth the trouble of visiting.
With six submissions in the pipeline I deserve a day out, but if we all took that sort of view nothing would ever get done. I have another submission in the bag and then there will be a bit of a struggle getting more done by the end of the month. I’ve been a bit lazy and haven’t kept up with the haibun writing – just done the haiku and the tanka.
Ah well, off for breakfast now – see you later.
🙂
That is an admirable garage. Should I need an MOT in Nottingham, I shall undoubtedly use it.
It’s a long shot, but handy to know, just in case.
That is a beautiful hoverfly photo, Quercus.
A day out is always nice. Give my best to Julia.
I will pass on your best wishes. It was a pleasant day.
A great advocacy for the garage
It was a sad day when they were forced to move because a property developer moved in. We needed a garage more than more flats. Sorry for the restaurant that had to move too. After they all moved the lockdown started and the developer tried to find new tenants as the redevelopment potential disappeared. Change rather than improvement . . .
The last sentence applies ubiquitously
