We were in Rochester on Tuesday visiting our family before
heading up to Scotland for a couple of weeks. It was great to see Paul and
Josephine and see how much Catherine has changed in the eight weeks since we
last saw her. She’s become a real chatterbox and it’s lovely to see her running
about and hear her starting to talk.
As we started back home a red light came on on the Prius
dashboard and a loud beep started. We realised that the interior lights were
still on. The dashboard light indicated an open door so we pulled over at the
first opportunity and checked them all. The doors were all shut and there were
no obvious obstructions in the locks so we had little choice but to drive on
with the fault still showing. Have you any idea what two hours of driving with
a high-pitched and constant beep is like? I imagine it’s the sort of thing a
particularly nasty torturer might come up with. We put Heart FM on the radio at
full volume but it didn’t drown out the warning. And no jokes about Heart FM
being worse than the beep please – I quite like it.
Arriving home at ten I checked the doors out again with a
torch. We’d taken some garden waste to the tip for Paul and a tiny piece of
grit had slipped into the boot catch. It must have broken an electronic
circuit. Problem solved.
There were no problems with the other car as we headed up to
St Andrews yesterday. It uses such
clever technology that it notices subtle changes in your driving and tells you
to take a break. We did the 476 miles in just over eight and a half hours and
now we’re settling into the caravan and looking forward to seeing Sarah and
Duncan and our other grandchildren Rose and Melody.
There’s not much of a broadband signal here so my use of Facebook
and Twitter will be curtailed. I just hope that I can get on Betfair during X
Factor. My annual bet is looking okay at the moment with £340 win if Sam is
successful but the show has thrown up a few shocks in the final weeks over the
past few years and I want to be able to respond and cut my losses if she
suddenly ends up in the bottom two.
