As I drove over to Reading yesterday morning for the new windscreen something was telling me that it would be a waste of time. Sure enough, despite having the appointment email there was no 'screen. It is on back order and Autoglass failed to inform me. Sigh.

The crack has lengthened a few more mm but I am still minded to take it if it does not turn up by 22nd. The CL is still in the bodyshop but should be ready next week, famous last words.

In better news my blister has nearly healed so plenty of walking/hiking is on the cards.

Over the weekend it's expanded a lot more to the point where I think it's best to take something else or move the ferry booking to autumn.

Hurrah, the new 'screen is in. Much better, stating the bleedin' obvious.

Insurance renewal due next month; Esure wants £300 to renew. A quick search on the usuals and I have found £258 with, er, Esure. And it reckons my renewal price is guaranteed to be lower than new business. I think an algorithum is a bit odd somewhere but it's an easy pick for me.

Fingers crossed the CL is ready next week and I can swap with this.
