Driving Serenity.

Today was not an optimal working day, that delicate combination of rain and wind really served to cool my enthusiasm.

Off with serenity to buy a car then. Now, the first couple of cars she had I bought for her through the trade. The one before last Serenity bought for herself, I was seriously impressed with the mega price she negotiated in terms of part ex. Unfortunately she forgot to tell me how much she as paying for the car concerned which turned out to be what a right bow wow.

So anyway I suggested to the great lady a course of action that would maximise the return for her cash. naturally Serenity decided to do something else.

That's how, this morning, I ended up cutting a deal on something hideously overpriced but at least it had the duel virtues of service history, lowish miles and a bit of provenance.

This afternoon I had a bit of an outbreak of social worker. The weekend arrived a lovely bit of fiction, minutes of a meeting we didn't recognise. Today a given to rewriting a set of minutes so they more closely resemble the truth.

IT makes you wonder, really makes you think, goodness me. These are professionals and they cannot take a simple note and not get it wrong.

Then it descended to comedy, another one, wanted us to be the first to know something she had just found out. This something we had known a month ago, because of course mum had told us the same day she had told, errrrr the social worker actually. The one who phoned us today as soon as she knew...

Now, either they think we are stupid, or they are stupid enough to think we don't speak to other people. It's hard to decide which to believe.
