Another miserably rainy day.
Finalised my main Car Insurance. Costing me £450 for the year.
The car deposit is now on my card. I’d better start looking at paying it off soon….
EDIT: It did stop raining for a bit after dinner, so managed to get my walk done at least.
Wet and raining day. No running or walking today.
Picked up my new Toyota Yaris Hybrid today. Had to spend about 30 minutes on hold while waiting for verify myself for the 3-day driveaway insurance.
I now need to finalise my own insurance to cover myself from Saturday.
My dad and I drove up to Toyota in the hire car so I could drive back in the new car.
We spotted some chips in the paintwork which we could not resolve while we were due to it raining (any painting we would do would be ruined by the rain). Toyota gave us some paint and lacquer to do it ourselves when the rain stops.
Drove back in the new car. First time I’ve properly driven an automatic. I previously drove an automatic for a colleague to help her park, so it wasn’t a “proper” drive.
My dad also used to have an automatic (VW Touran), but again, didn’t drive that “properly”
The brakes on the Yaris were REALLY sensitive. Just a tap brought the car to near stationary. On my old Skoda I had to push the brake pedal to about half way before it started braking.
Car has bluetooth so managed to pair it with my phone. Haven’t tested the music playing over bluetooth yet.
Also, Toyota gave me a plushie as thank you for buying a car
My connection to IFTTT suddenly messed up so I had to delete my blog connection and recreate it, and create a new application password…
Very weird why this suddenly happened.
Slightly sunnier day today, so went for a nice walk. Actually felt hotter than expected.
Short lap around the area again today. Cloudy, but no rain.
Well, forgot to log my walk yesterday. Was a short one due it starting to rain, but tried again, later and managed to get a nice lap around the area.
Another cloudy and rainy day. I did get to do my walk in between the showers.
Car update — I’ve finalised finance with Toyota and we’ve pencilled in Wednesday for pickup, but that depends on when I need to return my hire car.
Other news — My neighbours moved out recently and now we’ve had some people come in to pick up left over stuff and another van dropped off this morning, seemingly to drop of some paints and stuff.
They parked up pretty close to my hire car.
At least they didn’t scratch it.
Since different people are coming in and out of that premise, they’ve mounted a key locker on the front of the building holding the key to the flat, and locked it. Foolishly, they left the key combination visible as I went out to my walk. Then when I came back after my walk, they had reset the dials. Tried the combination I saw, and the lock opened. Cue Mr. Burns clip….
Cooler day, but has been raining on and off all day, so instead of my walk, I did my FitBit workout — and struggled with several of the exercises.
Finished it, and was about to go out to walk, and it started raining again….
EDIT: It stopped after a while and I went ahead and did my walk.
Another cooler day. No rain, but still cloudy. Though when I started my short walk, it decided to start to rain half way round.
An early start to the day to deploy some stuff into production. A few hiccups but it settled
A cloudy, and much cooler day today.
Did a short walk, and got caught in the rain. Wasn’t heavy, but annoying.
