Warning Lights

Zoe had a late start, so I didn't have to get up too early. I wandered around to her house and joined the walk to school before diverting off for my morning walk. It was a mild morning, and every now and then, the sun popped up to show its face. I was quite hot by the time I arrived home.

I had to move the car as we thought Kim might pop in (she didn't). As I started the engine, there was a cascade of error messages and lights across the dashboard. I powered off, then restarted the engine. Again, there was a cascade of warnings, but fewer than last time. This was not good news. I took the car to the dealer and explained the problem. Their engineer is away, moving house. There was nothing they could do immediately. They did suggest it may be an ABS sensor, and I should monitor it and book the car in, should it not rectify. I started the engine. Everything was completely normal, with no warnings. Typical. I drove home, resolving to check again later.

Back home, I made us some tea and then went to edit some more of last year's journal before lunch. After lunch, I got involved with the project Ellie had been working on with Nana. A door and some windows needed to be cut out of the shoe box. As this involved a sharp knife, I was deemed expendable. With that done, I settled down with my Kindle until it was time to collect Ellie from school.

With Ellie back with us, she sat down with Nana and continued to work on her project. Zoe was due soon after five, and they worked right through til her arrival. They were staying with us for dinner this evening so that they could eat and then use our hot water for a bath and shower. (The heating/hot water is still not working).

With everyone fed and clean, Zoe and Ellie drove home and we locked up. That was it for the night.
