Two hours to get home tonight in the car... picking MrsF up,2.3 miles away took 40 minutes, then getting to son 9 miles away was another 40 minutes, then getting home another 9 miles took another 40. Can't keep this up long (sons car is broken - his fault). I need to be cycling to work for 60 minutes each way when in (i'm only working 2 days a week in the office) but using the car 4 days to get son to work, and MrsF is running him too. Even WFH, I'm dropping him at work, 40 miles a day - lots of stuff with son going on - i.e. can't get up.... so we've got to ensure we get him working to avoid paying his bills. It's not Ideal, but he has MH issues.

We're considering a cheap banger for us to let him use then sell it on later - he's ruined a 15 Plate Fabia by 'modding it'. It's dead again.

The 'banger' will be owned by us and he can be insured to drive, and daughter can learn in it. Probably sell it on for the same amount in 6 months. Looking at Micras and Yaris as we've owned them before - less kit, the easier. We are loking at something with not too mch kit and tidy bodywork - look after it, we can sell on for no loss.

Only looking at £1500 or less, but if it saves our sanity with extra commutes..

£1500 would buy your son a lovely bike to commute on..

Sunny here chez Casa Reynard, but breezy and chilly.

Didn't sleep so good thanks to the very weird (and x-rated) dreams. Maybe being a single sock is finally catching up with me. :blush:

Anyways, fridges in the kitchen and utility room have been re-jigged, all the shopping has been put away properly and I have taken a small piece of stewing beef out of the freezer for the terrible twosome's tea.

Going to have a bowl of soup in a moment and then take the parental unit to the quack for her med review. She wants to go now for an appt that isn't till quarter to three. :wacko:

Wet, cold and windy and forecast to get colder next week.
Need to bite the bullet and turn on the storage heaters soon.
My new bike shoes despatched last Saturday are sitting in a depot somewhere and have not moved for several days. Fortunately
the ones I have on loan are not currently needed by the owner who does not use MB ones till winter. Forecast to be bright on Sunday but a brisk northerly wind so may get out then.

Like most of the Northern hemisphere it is cold, damp and miserable weather here in Central France :sad: Think I`ll put some wood on the fire and make a brew to cheer myself up :okay:

It's curiously mild and sunny here in London - good weather for showing off this year's autumnal colours. A bit more of a breeze today but nothing to worry about.

I was just totting up what I have been totting up what I have been doing over the past week and understand why I might be feeling a bit carp . The previous week's I was feeling a bit unwell . Last week I was working on our fireplace . On Sunday I drove to Swindon and back to see our son . In the evening I stayed up late to watch the GP. Monday afternoon I went to the craft afternoon at the museum . It was whilst there that I had a visit from the fairies . Tuesday I was crawling underneath my friends cat trying to figure out what was wrong with it . In the afternoon I went to the men's shed and had long conversations . So yesterday I must have used up all my energy credit ! :angry:
