Neat.
My Skoda Fabia of similar vintage is still going strong. Front brakes do need doing, but since I ain't going anywhere, t'is nae urgent. It's got about 55,000 on the clock.

It's a good MTB hauler - copes with 4 bikes, 4 people and associated kit. We've got another Nissan, and I'd look to change for another Nissan come the day mine get's unreliable.

Had a good lunch, btw. Finished off the last of the minestrone soup, then had a ham & mustard sandwich, two 
and a clementine.
And I beat mum rather comprehensively in our traditional lunchtime game of "Schrodinger's Pip" - she only had two pips in her clementine, I had five.

Don't let @skudupnorth know you've got a low mileage Fabia....

Well, he ain't having it!
Mind, there is a Skoda dealership in the village. I'm sure he could find something nice there.

He's just got himself an old top of the range Octavia. He's having to sell one of his other Skoda's...

No question. It snowed during the day but due to the snow repelling qualities of the Quantum Spikes the roads were clear by the time I came back.

Went into the office, our door handle & 3 other businesses in the street had also suffered the same fate, so down to Wickes to collect a new one, along with a 2-way light switch which I was told was faulty yet I couldn't find a fault with it, but replaced it no the less. Then I became a hated person by calling at KFC on the way back for a drive thru AFAIC as it was 14:30 it was an essential journey

Is that some kind of latter day game of lock down ginger?

Ok, had another go at moving the stone slab. Rollers won't work, the ground is too wet, thought that might be the case. It's not helped by my poorly wrist.
Next plan is to use rollers, but have them running on scaffolding planks. That might work. I'll get my van as close as possible and should be able to get it in.
The cottage next door is being demolished some time in February and there's several bits of York stone round it which I can have, this is where the stone is from (I could also do with some of the ridge tiles to finish off my wood store, bit I'm not going up to get them. Might try to collar the demo men when they start).

Not a chance without coinage passing towards them, you need to be in before them, unless you can get a letter from the current owner

It's strange how quick the mind works. As the slab was beginning to fall I thought "if I get pinned under this, I don't have my phone and no-one will hear my shouts" even if I could shout in the event of being squashed.

Oh I know that - I'll get the stone before they arrive and would give them something for the tiles if I decide I do want them.
Edit - to clarify, I have asked the owner if I could take the stone.
