Monday, monday...

It's been a while since I posted, one way and another. Yesterday, for instance, was spent putting the car in for its annual service - plus aircon service, as they were doing an offer - and MOT (which it passed, thank goodness) and just scraping into the warranty period for the broken electric wing-mirrors control. The car is cleaner than it has ( Read more... )

A lovely pic of Xolo! Can we assume she's keeping an Eye on the dog?

Both eyes.

Doesn't she look happy?
I am so glad I'm not the only person whose car's cleanliness is directed related to services.

I filled three bags with 'stuff' that didn't include the chairs or anything else of any size.

Great pix. And Albert is very handsome.

Ahem. You should see what comes out of my car when it has to go in for a service. And the problem now with working away from home during the week is that all manner of stuff now gets stored in my car, just in case ...

I failed to mention the two umbrellas (the last version of this car had a special space for brollies and I miss it), the car handbook, the reel of sellotape and the sissors (which permanently in the car doors), the can of Red Bull, the two full bottles of water, the spare cash for the Dartford crossing, the bottle box etc etc. Not to mention the dog's travelling box. It's no surprise we have an estate! (The folding seats and squeaky toy are a consequence of the agility training sessions!)

I have all manner of emergency items now, including a folding shovel, several blankets and the latest acquisition, Yaktrax for my walking boots, in case I break down halfway down the A34 in snow and ice!

Ah... the winter stuff (shovel, wellies, blanket, water, chocolate) will go in later in the year, whenever we have to travel further than walking distance...

Lovely Xolo looks suitably pleased with her own patience in dealing with the dog. :)

And Albert's beautiful. What a great pooch.

Xolo seems to be holding her own for the moment after her awful experiences a few months ago. She tells the dog what for.

Zolo "don't mess, I ain't moving".
