Week 226 - Repair

It’s been my last week of work for the year. Apart from planning a few new customer engagements for January, it’s been uneventful and mercifully quiet. I’m back working in two weeks when the boys go back to school.
I spent lunchtimes on a few chores: getting a haircut, a dentist/hygienist visit and buying a few last Christmas shopping bits. All done. My presents are wrapped, I’ve finalised the Ocado grocery order and now I’m fully Christmas-ready.
On Saturday we met up with Tim and Debbie and their son in Wendover near where they live in Buckinghamshire. We ate a big lunch in the Bel and the Dragon and then let the fuelled-up boys run around together in a nearby playground before it got too dark.
While having lunch the side of my car was scraped by a van in the car park. The scraper fortunately left a note with his details and sounded quite shook-up on the phone. I now have to go through the pain of getting it repaired through my insurance company during the Christmas period, and then claiming back my excess. It’s going to be a faff.
However, it’s one of those things. It won’t spoil Christmas. I’m looking forward to relaxing into a routine of lazy days at home with my family, eating and drinking a little too much, and switching off. Merry Christmas to you! 🎄🎅
