(G) P.S. ...

... a quick post script - as a benefit of joining the IAM, the members area of the website has a page of links to companies offering discounts - one of which is Garmin.

Kelly's mother wanted a simple Satnav for Xmas, so a quick browse of the site showed up a Nuvi 1210 on offer for less than the price of a 'cheaper' lower grade model in the shops. Ordered it Sunday evening, it arrived Tues afternoon. Brilliant.

Its been a while....

IBAW...since I posted a blog, so here's a few musings that I've been meaning to put down on virtual paper. Mum's been quite ill recently, but after a stay in hospital the medication appears to be working and the illness is reducing. her mobility is a little slower than normal, but she's getting used to the walking aids and the wheelchair, bless her. Still looking remarkably upbeat and determined to confront whatever else life throws at her. Way to go, Mum!

IBAW...since I bought a new lid, but as the visor on my old one has been converting light sources into kaleidescopes, I took the plunge and went to my local J&S in Kimberley. I got everything I wanted - flipup-front, integral drop-down dark(-ish) visor, and pinlocked visor for an anti-mist liner. £80 for the lid and £20 for the anti-mist liner, and (because I spent over £50), 3 free gifts from a choice of about 6 or 7. Bargain!

IBAW...since I rode in fog, but there was a hint of mist this morning as I got near to work, and fog all the way home tonight! And its getting worse as I write, so there may well be a pea-souper by tomorrow morning.
