Car service reminder

Just to show how organised Steven Eagle Toyota are, I had a phone call this morning following up the service reminder that they had sent for the Avensis. They wondered if I wanted to book it in for the service.

This is of course the same service that they did when they had the car in during October (see post)

They will now update their records.

Friends of Dunstable Music School meal

We went out last night for a Christmas meal with the ‘Friends of Dunstable Music School’. We had a really good meal at The Old Farm Inn in Tottenhoe. This was followed by plenty of singing and music into the early hours. Definately not an early start this morning! The kids were good and didn’t wake us.

Car boxed in

Earlier in the year (see this post), we had a note on Jo’s car when she parked out side one of our neighbour’s house. Yesterday when I got home from work, the road was really busy and so I parked on the road just up from their house. When we went out last night, we were planning to take Jo’s car anyway, which was just as well because they have parked 6 inches from both the front and back of my car, effectively trapping it where it is.

Hopefully some time over the weekend one of the cars will move, allowing me to move my car, otherwise Monday morning when I need to go to work will be interesting.

Sunny
[Edit] Both cars have just moved, so I took the opportunity to move my car back in front of my house. Its bright with cloudless skies, but quite cold out today.

KeyStage 1 Nativity

Cloudy Night We went to see the Key Stage 1 nativity play tonight. It was a really good perfomance. It was cold when we arrived at 18:30 and a very cold night by the time we came out just after 20:00.

[Edit] Not sure what happened to this entry – it was blank when I looked and I can’t remember what I had put.

Lost Internet for an hour this evening

Cloudy Night We lost Internet connection for an hour this evening. After having it 24×7 for so long, it seems strange when you can’t just go on the web.

When it did finally come back, while waiting on the phone to to customer support, I was able to check the system status. I found that NTL had nothing listed as outstanding or recently fixed. Still everything seems to be working now.
