Back in time for Ken and 'the quiz' Hope the back eases @punkdoc. @Liriodendron - you could wrap his hand in cling film. No vigorous activity. God loves a trier eh? I watch Beechgrove, although not always on Thursday night when it's on here. It's not the same though, and I find myself fast forwarding. Unfortunately, fairylet is working later @Dovefromabove, so can't take me back to the garage for collecting car. I'll do a shorter walk this morning, and the 4 miles to get the car can be the second bit. They do a collection/delivery, but not just now.

I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
@fairygirl Lola is booked in for first Monday in Nov. The garage said they're really quite busy but they'll always find time for Lola Had a quick natter with @WonkyWomble ... she's using the rainy day to do some paperwork 👍☕☕☕
Popmaster wasn't good today ... I got 12 in the first round, then someone came to the door ...

Good morning folks. Sympathies for all those that need it. Having had an SM delivery yesterday, we had to brave the SM again this morning to get all the things I had forgotten to put on the list! My debit card's been blocked as well - I couldn't remember the correct pin number whilst in Wales as I hadn't used it for 6 months and the computer didn't like that. A minor irritation in the scale of things I suppose.
Have you really not driven your car for 12 months Dove? - that's terribly bad for it and not good for you really. Cars need a 30 mile run once a month at least, I understand.
21 and 12 for me today @Dovefromabove. The bloke did well I don't think that's the case with moderns cars @Lizzie27 Mind you - I was doing well over that just taking older daughter to work while the buses were off. Haven't done much recently, but hopefully I can get some hills which will raise the mileage a bit. Unless they limit the travel again. Hope not. We just seem to be getting out of the 'trash leavers/road blockers' scenario. They're talking on the radio about the situation with students and positive cases being recorded. We do have quite a lot up here. I'm getting really peed off with the way young folk are being treated though, as though they're the only ones who've been partying and behaving irresponsibly. As I've said so often here, my experience has shown it isn't young folk who are the problem. I can loathe teenagers with the best of them, but they've become an easy target now. Cloudy and murky now. Lunch beckons then some potting on of a few cuttings I have.

@Fairygirl - it's especially vital for modern cars as there are so many computer bits in them that feed off the batteries, even when they are stationary and switched off. Whereas our 1938 Austin 10 always starts like a dream, even when it's not been out for ages! I never had any trouble with my 21 yr old Ford Fiesta either.
Oh yes @Lizzie27 I’ve used the car ... we’ve visited @Busy-Lizzie at their Norfolk cottage, been to MIL in Lincs and Burghley the other weekend, and a few days out to the coast over the past few months, and a few trips to the farm shop a few miles away .... but we’ve not used the car anything like as much as we usually do and certainly we’ve not been on our annual trip to Cornwall 😭 or for meals out at country pubs etc. We’ve made a point of taking the car for a quick trip out for a few miles of local driving then a few miles on the dual carriageway roughly weekly.

OH reckons we did 700 miles on our North Wales trip so that's our car sorted for a bit!
