Both boys have now finished their last exams, so we celebrated at Miller and Carter with a lovely dinner on Wednesday evening.
The sun is most definitely out to play (nearly 30 Celsius for a few days) and summer has started for the two of them.
Happy days until results days in August – Happy Summer 2025 everyone
Wishing all the dads (and those who have the role of dad but without the official title) a terrific day
The sun is shiny in Flockton this morning and the boys are enjoying a laze in bed…..
Both Teslas and little Mia have their MoTs in a 10 day period starting with Mia on the 18th June. The Teslas are already booked in at Halfords near Simon’s Leeds workplace but we still need to get Mia sorted out.
While there is no obvious detriment to her condition since last year, given her age, anything is possible.
Olly has cleaned up her underside and checked that it is just the paint on the suspension areas that was corroded – the arms etc all still look OK.
We have also finished the stitching of the rear window surround so the soft top is ready for summer, although obviously that has nothing to do with MoT.
Fingers crossed all goes well as Oliver really wants to be taken to prom later in the month and that is entirely dependent on an MoT pass
Why did we not buy one of these before now? We recently purchased a cheap robot vacuum cleaner – Eufy G50.
Wow, just wow, every morning we now awake to a dog hair free snug and a rug that is well coiffed 🙂
It is a really basic model but can be controlled by Alexa and is setup to automatically head out and clean while we all sleep.
It does need emptying each morning as the dust bin is only small (as you would expect of course) and we have no idea how long it will live, but for now it has blown our mind 🙂
At approximately 16:20 today Elliot passed his driving test……..
At approximately 18:10 today Simon shat himself as the cost of insurance has gone up approximately 45% since we bought the car…….
So, we are no longer able to insure the car without a black (telemetry) box and certainly not at the eye watering price of £2,000. That’s right it is now approximately £3,000….
So starting tomorrow, we have a third driver in the household and a little box in a few days time to check that we are not going to drive more than 700 miles a month and that we won’t be taking corners hard or pumping the brakes etc
