Good Morning Worlds!
I am up early so that I can check how granny lead charging the car has worked.
I then need to swap the cars around, as Mugsy needs to be closer to the house for charging, meaning it is blocked in by Scout.

I will go and meet Sue at work, and then we can go to PC World to pick up the memory stick I ordered, and then pop into Halfords for some new wiper blades.

I will need to order some SWA cable and a CCU for installing a 7kW charge point so that I don't need to swap the cars on the drive for charging.

I still have to clean the Meeting House this afternoon, and then I can call it a da....

.... Except we need to sort out and load all the stuff we are taking to the car book in the morning!

Well, overnight granny charging was a success!

The car charged to 100% and 244 miles of range.

Yippee!

I have been out to work, to meet Sue, picked up some more memory from PC World, bought wiper blades from Halfords, and picked up a few groceries.

Now sorting out memory, both for my phone, and for my car music.
My phone case needs a wash!

The car is loaded with carboot stuff for tomorrow.
The memory stick of music works. My phone has 4x as much memory in it.

I have eaten two bits of rocky road, and two hot cross buns, and I am starving hungry. Yes, I did have lunch, but I am also low on weight since the weekend in Leicester. I feel like I could eat a chip loaf*!

*A chip loaf is school days food when I was a young teenager. When we were allowed out for lunchtimes we'd go to the bakery to buy a tin loaf and ask for the end crust to be cut of. We'd then walk to the chippie eating the centre out of the loaf. At the chippie we'd ask for the hollow loaf to be filled with chips. We'd then eat that while walking back to school.

Thank you. It will all go, either for money, or for charity, or for recycling.
I just hate standing at a stall selling stuff, I don't have that sales person gene in me.

Hiding under the table with a book might well sell well to other bookworms who may even come and join you, quietly of course.

Sadly, we're not selling books today.
Maybe half a ton of books have gone to the Oxfam bookshop in Chorlton, though.

I will be taking a book to hide with, just in case.

You can hide in the car with a book for as long as you like.

Let me specify. You can hide in the car we're going in, once we're at the car boot.
