The process was quite painless. You don’t need an appointment for a retest. They do the appointments at half hour intervals and then do the retests when the appointments have been done. I suppose there might be a long wait if a load of people wanting their cars retested came at the same time, but we were in and out almost instantly.
The long awaited rain didn’t come to anything. Well, I guess technically it did rain, but we say that if we can count the spots of rain on the patio, then it doesn’t count! However, they did have heavy rain in Llerena, so it was obviously very localized.
I think that both Charlie and Horace have just had their one year birthdays. Charlie doesn’t show much signs of slowing down, still spends most of her waking hours running round in circles. And Horace remains Horace. Yesterday he nearly made his way over to Ian’s side of the living room, but then he came scurrying back. Horace has his own little area and sticks to it – which is fine.
Our grape harvest this year isn’t as successful as last year. We seem to have a harvest of saltanas!
