Began badly but got better.
I won't trouble you with the bad stuff as it would have to be filed under "T" for "TMI".
Anyway, plans had to be changed which resulted in a quick return trip on the bus to town, an argument with the GP receptionist, and getting ripped off at the Post Office (I was beyond arguing by then).
But in the afternoon I rang the garage expecting another moanfest, and they said the motor was ready to be picked up as they'd done the MOT as well as sorting the warning light. I'm not 100% convinced that the problem has been fixed, but the light has gone off for the time being anyway.
Oh, and having applied to renew my passport last Wednesday, it bloody well arrived today! I sent Sarah's application off yesterday, so she should have hers next week.
So I started the day stressed and tired and have finished it calm but absolutely exhausted.
A nice quiet coffee and cake at Combeinteignhead tomorrow for the first time in a fortnight methinks.

How much better to have a day that starts better but improves to the other way 'round. Really glad your car is sorted - it's an absolute pain not to have transport, an especially where you live.

As for your pass port, we got ours in 4 workinng dfays, but that was early in the year and the number of applications must have been low at that time. What I did like was that we recieved daily updates on the progress by email.

I got my new blue one in 8 days which is remarkable for the back of beyond. But I did have to pay for a courier to deliver it by hand.
