What a lot of rain we had on Saturday, it was relentless. As you can see the hole where the foundations of the dog's kennels filled up with water which made digging very difficult and wet! Progress on the site is slowly taking shape, but I don't think the platform for the kennels will be ready at the end of this month.
On Saturday my car died a death. Luckily, I hadn't gone anywhere, I'd just started the car to go shopping when the engine cut out. I phoned the AA who sent a man out to fix the car and he told me that the timing belt had gone and I may have caused hundreds of pounds worth of damage! That's the heating oil money gone... oh well, I guess I need the car more than the oil, I can just put another jumper or fleece on when it gets cold. After all, I survived last year after Christmas with no heating and I didn't have any in my last house. I'm just getting old and soft!
My brother in law just happened to phone Chris on Saturday night because I had canceled going to the Irvine Riding Club show on Sunday and he wanted to know what was wrong. Chris told him and the next thing I knew, he and J had arranged to try and repair the car. So on Sunday morning he came over with my sister and the girls and we had a breakfast party whilst my car was being stripped down. All good fun.
So this week I had planned to hire a small car. I got a lift into work from Dad, intending to hire a car this afternoon, but guess what? I'm such a pea brain, I forgot to bring my driving license with me!!
