That’s another £170 gone for my car service. At least that’s it kept within warranty with genuine Toyota parts. No doubt they would be more expensive.
Just had a salad tea as it’s too hot for hot food. Watching Pointless now. New series of Shetland starts tonight.

I've spent most of the afternoon at Rugby Hospital, moral support, nothing for me to do but sit in the waiting room, once they'd done I left my Good Lady waiting for the patient transport and headed home, crossing Rugby heading for the M6 in the rush hour. At one point they had the left lane closed, the bloke in the outside lane wasn't letting anyone merge I had to merge further up, approaching the M6 they had a broken down lorry ,the guy in the outside lane backed of and waved me out. I shall have to remember thats not a trip I want to do again.

£170 sounds fair. Just paid £190 for annual service and MOT, (Renault Captur 1.5dci).

I have always used my local garage for servicing my Renault Captur They serviced to the Renault schedule When I collected it following its first service the mechanic pointed out that part of the service they would not normally carry out at first service had been completed My new Dacia I will continue to have serviced with them.As long as the garage you use services to the manufacturers schedule it should not invalidate the warranty
The only thing I fancied for dinner tonight was scrambled egg on toast Neither of us could face anything heavier

Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.
It's cooling down a bit now. We have survived yet another hot day.
Even the bunnies didn't show their faces today. They must have been hiding in their burrows out of the heat. They are all running around now eating grass.
Shetland tonight.

A glorious evening down the park. We took a picnic and sat out in the shade nibbling on nibbles and drinking wine and beer. Surprisingly quiet, the usual " outdoor gym " groups were conspicuous in their absence, just a couple practicing boxing skills and a young lad teaching his girlfriend inline skating skills. There was a cricket match in progress, clouds of dust rising off the wicket at each delivery. A glorious moon this evening, full moon just after midnight tomorrow.

Morning. Up early as usual. Nice and cool at the moment so trying to talk myself into an early bimble.
I got an email from the vet yesterday with the quote for a dental for Molly. £304 if just a clean and £625 if any extractions. Vets fees have got so high now that I fear it will soon only be the wealthy that can afford them which is so sad. She’s the only company I have but it makes you think twice about ever having another the way things are going.

Morning Mo it seems you have to be wealthy just to live now 
Good moaning all.
Yep......finances are scarey for anyone less than well off.
Off to hospital** later as MrsD has to have fluid taken from where she had the mastectomy plus they want to do a mammogram.......she is not looking forward to any part of it.
**as always, the main hospital doesn't deal with such things so its a 25 mile round trip PLUS blue badge holders now have to pay.
