Cheery's path to fulfilment - finishing the DIY, looking after myself, appreciating the garden 🌻

We made it home, low revs, blower on (although no heat was coming out - possibly connected, and the reason we booked it into the garage in the first place). I'll ring the garage in the morning. How very tiresome. 

So the rest of the week may be a bit complicated given that we now don't have a single reliable car, and I don't want to do a long journey in either unless it's to the garage. 

Wednesday - I was meant to be going to work, and then Mr C to a band rehearsal in the evening. I'll have to work at home (not a problem - I was going in for a big staff announcement meeting which I suspect may involve redundancies, but they are usually online/recorded as well). Mr C will have to forego his rehearsal. 

Thursday - Mr C was going to visit his dad, dropping me off in work on the way (but only so I could share the driving). Neither of these things will happen. 

Friday - we have an appointment in our local town first thing. Either we'll be able to get the bus (which also involve a good 45 min walk to the bus stop) or we'll cancel it - will decide tomorrow. I'm in favour of the bus, but I suspect Mr C won't be! Will will need milk at some point anyway, so that'll involve a walk to the local village (site of the bus stop). More vexingly, Mr C has a gig in the evening. Not sure how we'll manage this - might have to limp a car to the train station, then he can get 2 trains and someone can collect him at the other end? Or there's a chance someone may come and get him, but it'll be a 3 hour round trip. 

Rest of the weekend is free, thank goodness. 

Very glad this happened AFTER friend's funeral today, not before. 

So we'll see. It's only just occurred to me that the breakdown people might be able to actually fix one of them while they're here - but which one do we ring about?!  

And on that note, tv and crochet, I think. We've got 2 pints of milk, which would usually last us less than a day, so we are on rations (or we'll have to walk to the shop tomorrow afternoon )

Ha, no way Mr C will agree to the bus on Friday morning. Appointment is 10am, the only bus before that leaves just before 8 and gets us there an hour and a half early And we'd have to leave home just before 7 to reliably walk to the bus stop Let's see how tomorrow pans out and then we can decide...
