The day started with the most spectacular red sunrise. The sort of celestial light show that lifts the soul and makes it soar. The Gorse Fox was expecting Ellie to follow him down - but no, she was still fast asleep. In fact it was Urban-Cub that came down next. She had a busy morning planned. In fact, when we discussed it it became obvious that the timings were not going to work. The Gorse Fox volunteered to take Ellie to the child-minder. This changed the schedule in such a way as to give her time.
The Gorse Fox disappeared off with Ellie and while he was gone, Urban-Cub set off for Portsmouth. She had looked online for a valuation of her existing car. Evans Halshaw came up with a good price, contingent on an inspection. Well, she had spent most of yesterday ensuring the car was pristine. She went across and they didn't quibble, offering her a valuation right at the top of their suggested range. They only deducted a small amount because it need a service and new tyres. (The tyres alone were worth at least four times the value of the deduction). She accepted the offer and the deal was done there and then. Log book was handed over and she was (whisper it quietly) carless. Her friend, the Princess, who lives nearby, collected her and they had a few hours and lunch together before the Gorse Fox drove across to Port Solent to collect her.
The Silver Vixen has spent most of the afternoon working on an advent calendar. The sewing machine has been at full revs.
The Gorse Fox had a quiet afternoon before taking Urban-Cub in to collect Ellie from the child-minder.
