The Gorse Fox is still nursing his swollen knee, so there was no football today. The Silver Vixen, however, went off to Pilates.

For the Gorse Fox, the time was not wasted. He sorted out the temporary insurance cover for the new car and re-read all the agreements. He was surprised, and pleased to find that his payments on this car will be a 40GBP less than he had originally expected. That's a result!

Much of the rest of the day has been spent redrafting the backup schedules for "Condor". It's not that they are complex, it's more a case of how they are spaced out across the 24-hour period, and which ones are run daily, which are weekly, and which are monthly. Each had to be set up, and each had to be tested. He thinks they are all done now, but he may make a few minor modifications once he has seen them in action for a few days.

One thing that may not immediately occur to the reader is that with a modern car being sold back to a dealer (or, indeed, a private individual) it is important to clear out the SatNav history, the Home setting, and all of the address books and call logs. Also, any phones must be unpaired. This didn't take too long, but the Gorse Fox didn't want to leave it until the last minute and then forget!
