Getting done



Today the post brought the new map of Northern Italy we ordered. That’s one more thing off the list of things to do before our holiday. We’ve got the airport parking arranged too. The EHIC cards arrived last week, just in case we need any medical treatment while we’re abroad. Things are coming together.

Meanwhile yesterday we spent yet another day going along to Kwikfit with a puncture. Under the Motability scheme any tyre repairs etc. are done free with Kwikfit. That means a trip into Lancaster for us. Our present car seems to be magnet for nails & screws. This is the third time we’ve had to go in for this purpose & the car’s not even 3 years old yet!

I’m trying to tell myself it is just that there seems to be more rubbish on the roads these days which inevitably means more punctures.

One consolation, though, is that the free hot chocolate there is good if a bit sweet. And now we know to go armed with books/magazine for while we wait.
