Completely forget I have a 9 am appointment and text to postpone half an hour. N is very grudging. It turns out that he has to go to Aylesbury afterwards and as I am going there too I offer him a lift. "Can I drive?" he asks ,unashamedly. I suppose it makes little difference, and he has agreed to be my check test volunteer. There's something about his attitude though.
Another 3 hours of S. The last 3 hour session thank the Lord above!! Again there is minimal progress, though at least nothing too scary happened today.
Back to Toytown and the vast farmhouse. I have not driven the car more than 100 yards when R bursts into tears! Not again! Apparently it's boyfriend troubles though. She cheers up and is very good. A little wild, but good fun and has a can do approach. she'll do well!
Back home. A yellow mini pulls up. Bloody cheek parking right outside. A bloke jumps out. I vaguely recognize him. It's the guy who was trying to buy my Berlingo. He still is offering only £900, but frankly since he last pitched up I have been wishing I had taken it, as the poor thing will never move and is just going to waste. I am very suspicious of the guy. he has a pikey air about him. I suspect he miust be connected with the mob I had rung about the car and who had driven me mad for days after until H told them where to go.
He pulls out a wedge of cash and it's goodbye Berlingo. Sad 128,000 miles we spent together. Two skiing hols, several trips to France besides, several trips to Scotland and then on to Ireland. Hope he gives her a good home. I suspect he'll make a pretty packet once he's turned the clock back.
Plasterers arrive tomorrow so cupboards must be dismantled, radiators removed, and holes drilled in walls for the satellite.
