I should be at my 8am Monday pilates class right now, I love 
starting the week with a thorough head to toe stretch, only my usually very reliable Honda won’t start.
So I have borrowed my husband’s car at great inconvenience to him as he has a long commute, while he has borrowed his father’s car.
Luckily, mine brought me home safely from Norfolk last night where I had spent the day with my mother and sister enjoying the sea air. It was packed with like-minded motorists also heading for the coast to enjoy the sunshine, many of them dressed in summer clothes.
I have a hectic round of meetings today and, as it is the start of half-term, plenty of chauffeuring the boys around to their various activities from our village.
Working from home has many advantages, but also means I am constantly on call during school breaks. I still wouldn’t have it any other way.
8am pilates on a monday!! Am impressed!
Casdock, don’t be, ladies in their 70s are much more supple than I am.
Hope your son wasn’t responsible
Was hoping to catch you in on my way home from Cambridge….. sorry to have missed you x
WW, You do have a suspicious mind. My son has placed his new L plates on my desk and we hope to get out on the road again asap.
I would say – sorry, Ellee -that you are lucky to have a car at all!!
Hi Ellee – yes, being at work from home while looking after your children means you have not abandoned a 24 hour job to others. Whatever their age, children need a parent ‘there’ for them. Sorry, my soapbox thing.
And, the pilates? Good for you girl!
I think I have discovered the cause. I bought a new key for the car last week which was programmed into the engine, then found the missing one and tried using it. It wouldn’t work because it had been demobalised, but I was not warned about this, so I have had a very worrying time and a great deal of inconvenience as a result.
To their credit, staff from the Honda garage are collecting my car tomorrow morning and will programme all three keys and leave me a courtesy car for the day. My home is en route to work for their staff and this is very helpful for me. I do appreciate it.
David will be happy to know that he can drive it again too.
Monday Morning Blues? Are you trying for a job with the Express or getting into jazz music 😀
Glad you got your car sorted and pilates? I wish!
