I got my car service yesterday. All wnet well until I was settling down in the evening and got a call from the garage. No, not an oversight or a simple follow up. A push to sell me a new car! When I think back there were several instances when they were trying to push things. The motor trade must be slack
I thought cars were so in demand they were sold as soon as they arrived?
A reason the salesman gave was that the lead times on new ones was so long that second hand ones were now greatly in demand. As mine is only two years old and very low mileage it is almost 'as new' so is one they could shift quickly. It's a good reason why there is no point changing for me though
The weekly shop. This afternoon when I take my friends shopping to her I will put together a flat pack side table she bought from a catalogue thinking it would come ready assembled.

Her shock when the flat pack arrived ☺️
I always allow twice as long to assemble flat packs, and I still underestimate. Whenever I do flat packs, I find myself in a bit of a temper, even if they are going well. Hence, I prefer to do them alone. Andrea also prefers me to do them alone.
My oldest is feeling better already, but we'll need the test results to know if we're all contagious... (Instead of strep like I suspected, it could be a stomach bug the doc says spreads very easily.) The boys didn't have lunch with their dad today so they don't pass anything to their half-brother (their dad's youngest) who is 10 months old on Monday.
We got our cleaning done today, discussed a couple kids' books on online etiquette and safety, took a walk in the neighbourhood, and finished an episode of Nature (from PBS) about squirrels. (They're so cool!) The middle guy also put together empty paper-towel rolls and cardboard to make a model of a catamaran. Great day of school!
I organsied a few things yesterday and my sister phoned and we discussed mum's future, agreeing a few things. Really nothing major but it was good to get more done in the day than built up.
I'm thinking of heading back into the woods later today and se if I can get any good wildlife pics. It's alligator mating season so I will have to be aware because they can be very aggressive this time of year.

The kids have been reading, drawing or typing. (The middle guy was goofing off trying to replicate some stats screens on the portable keyboard. Hey, it's typing practice whether you're creating something original or copying something!)
I sorted laundry and put more through the wash, sent off some cards in the mail, and chose a new cell provider (without a new phone yet, but I'll keep an eye on refurbished ones).
I had a lovely walk yesterday. On part of it I walked through a wood in which the local children were taking part in an Easter egg hunt. It added interest spotting some of the eggs

I've been doing some cleaning and working on my English course. I am studying "Wuthering Heights". I must know more about that book than Emily Bronte did!
