'The Beast' is still in Italy, and I'm a tad annoyed to say the least. The company dealing with the repatriation could have got themselves in gear a long time ago. I don't blame the company from whom I bought the policy or the company that are the front-of-house for the underwriters, but I do think that the day to day running is poor. Maybe someone should undertake a review of their service provision. As a retired chap looking for work, I have even offered to do the review for them! I trundled back to Cardiff in the 1.1 Getz and it's a strange feeling having nearly everything on the motorway sailing past you, especially on anything resembling a slope. But hey ho, it's a lovely car, it's new, and it's not mine so I am extremely grateful to my youngest daughter for being lovely and lending it to me.
I don't know how I would have been able to transport all of my tools and buy all of the items for the bathroom refurbishment at our flat in Cardiff without the use of the Getz. The picture is day 3 of the refurbishment and I had just finished putting up another 22 tiles. Not as good as my brother though, the first four that he stuck on were put up in double quick speed and were perfect. There's more about that, and a photo album on my Facebook page. I now have an opportunity for a breather as my nephew the plumber is here, and the bathroom is too small for two people to work in simultaneously.
