Forgot to log this yesterday. Spent most of the day in the car with my parents, letting my dad drive and get used to the new car.
I drove back after they stopped off for shopping.
The weather was sunny and hot and in the 20s degC so after I got back, I did go and do my daily walk.
A blustery, mixed-weather day today. Lots of cloud and threatened rain, but didn’t during my run.
Been raining most of the day. A brief respite after work let me get some walking done.
Gloomy day, but still hot and muggy with occasional showers.
My hire car finally got picked up, exactly 8 weeks after it was delivered.
Had a moan at Toyota over email — they confirmed my appointment to get the key reprogrammed, but attempted to sneak a £10 charge in, for “a 40-point surface point clean”
Considering I’m only going back there due to a mistake made by their mechanic and paint damage caused by them, I shouldn’t be paying for any of that.
Charges are waived.
Mixed weather today — rain and sun. Went and got some walking done.
Toyota contacted me saying they have my spare key (the mechanic apparently lost it after programming it and they needed to order a new one – to the tune of £250 cost).
I’ll need my take my car back to let them program the key, and hopefully get the dinks in the paintwork fixed.
The next appointment is next Monday, so I’ll head up after my daily meeting.
During my walk, the hire car company finally called asking for their car back, they’re coming to collect tomorrow, so I topped up the car to make sure they don’t fine me for not having enough fuel.
Another warm day, but not too hot. A short walk to get the heart rate up and then back to work.
Weather has turned to sunny today, so a nice longer walk today. Tried a different walk, but turned to be a bit longer distance wise, but not longer time wise.
No walk or workout today. Did the weekly shop this morning as mentioned in my previous post and the temperature has jumped into the twenties today surprisingly.
My V5C arrived this morning. So I can use that to check and apply for my CCharge discount eligibility. I already know the car is exempt from ULEZ and LEZ.
Though it does seem the CCharge will be chargeable for all cars from 2025 and exemption for EV only from 2021.
So remind me again, why should people buy a EV or hybrid if they don’t get any benefits?
My Toyota Roadside Assistance confirmation form also arrived, it’s Toyota branded, but the assistance is provided by the AA.
Barclaycard emailed me. Time to pay my credit card bill…
Another rainy day. Ended up working a bit longer than I expected due to stuff happening that I wanted to fix before the weekend. Overworking seems to be quite a common tendency now, due to the extended working from home situation, even though it’s not advisable.
Eventually the rain did stop, so managed to go for my walk around 5pm.
