Hello again you lot
been away for a few days - too much going on in that life that doesn't happen via a computer
anyway
2 busy days
yesterday grandkid no 3 (aka annoying child 3) was delivered by his parents at about 9:30 to be entertained and fed and changed
then AC 2 was to be met at their house from his bus from special school
the AC 1 needed picking up from after school multi-sport (aka football) at 4:20
then 'the parents' arrived back at 6 plus a bit (lot)
BIG news - baby had walked 4 steps with a walker and no support - first time ever
massive DRAMA with 9 year old due t incident with school uniform and sport club and over sensitivity and stuff - all duely avoided and sorted out by Pops (me) applyin logic and "trust in Mummy and Daddy" andbasic talking until drama stops
and SEN kid was basically happy and ate all his dinner - as usual with Gran and Pops -
so - basically - normal kids day
today - car had to go to have the windscreen washer bottle fixed due to leak - lot of money for a plastic bottle
garage seem fine - but have to get it from 'main dealer'
soooooo - seems reasonable
but the 'main dealer' couldn;t get it to then within 24 hours
more like a few day
sooo - Tuesday this week - so the garage suggest I book it in on Wednesday or Thursday because it WILL arrive Tuesday
annnnnnd
it did arrive Tuesday
at a garage in Kent
My garage rang and asked wher it was - were told it has 'been delivered'
they check in case someone esle had signed for it
then rang back and found the delivery address - $deity knows where they go tthat one from
so they were rather dubious it would jave got back to Honda and been packed up and sent off again to
probably
my garage in Widnes
anyway - rang this morning and it hadnot arrived
but they had been 'assured' it would arrive 'this morning'
arranged that they would ring me when it would arrived
they rang at about 3:30
which is the afternoon by my reckoning
anyway - jumped on the folding ebike (which I had got out and sorted) and rode up to get it
and drove it back with a wallet lighter by £200
for a plastic bottle and a water pump
but DAMN the washers work better
and it is the first fault on the car since I got it 5 or so years ago
so - kinda OK
still - busy day - had to have a bath to recover
OH - and Granddaughter (aka AC no 1) had an online Advent service at her (Catholic) school today
she was great - when we could see her
hopefully there isn't a nativity play
