The car has come into its own today, with plenty of work done. Billy had suggested we get a new battery for it though, after it failed to start at the garage yesterday. So I went online and ordered a click and collect one from Euro Car Parts in Chester. Of course this morning the car started perfectly — but then it wasn’t very cold, and you just know that it would let you down when you really needed it. I’d planned to do a big shop at the Tesco Extra just across the border into Wales, but while collecting the battery realised there was another Tesco and a Aldi right there; not as big, but big enough. And just round the corner was Pets at Home, so Macc has been resupplied too. Then I made a brief visit to my dad as I was really quite close.
This afternoon I drove down to Nantwich as Billy had offered to swap the batteries over. He’s got a workshop with all the things needed. It was actually a fairly straightforward swap which was a relief. I was hoping a parcel would have been delivered to the post office in Tattenhall by the time I got back but it hadn’t; if it comes in the next hour, I’ll go and pick it up. Meanwhile Adrian has been keeping Macc entertained, and doing more work for the charity he’s involved with.
If thats Bill Sanger pass on our regards next time you see him please
