\"Saxo\"Another week has flashed by – not without its eventful moments! Two weeks ago, when I had the last ECP, Rachael went down to Exeter to look at the University. Leaving aside navigation problems, all went well until she came to return home, when the rear windscreen on her car shattered. She was able to drive it, but clearly it needed replacement. Investigation showed that the tail gate was probably distorted by a too close encounter with a parking bollard a few weeks earlier, so I thought it better to replace the whole tailgate. We found one at the local car breakers – one snag – it was blue, and Rachael’s car is red. So I spent all day Saturday removing the old tailgate and fitting the new – and the result is in the photo! I think it is vaguely reminiscent of “Starsky and Hutch” and at least she is mobile again!<\/p>\n

\"Concert\"However the highlights of the week were Felicity’s birthday on Friday, and an open air concert on Thursday. Sadly the weather wasn’t kind, and although the rain held off for the music and the fireworks, it was bitterly cold. Still it made for a pleasant evening!<\/p>\n

This week I am off to London for the third course of ECP. My shoulders ached yesterday after all the stretching to fit the tailgate, but I do think I am stretching more than I could, so it does seem to be working. The appointment is on Wednesday and Thursday, so another overnight stop – must do better on the cooking! Felicity is off to manage restaurants at The Henley Regatta, so it is again all go – but very much O & U!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
