I need to find a new tyre for Mrs P’s car this morning,
and I’d been tipped off about a cheap place by a guy I was chatting to last
week while I got her cars MOT done. So I set off for not the nicest part of
town, to try to find it. There stuck to the side of a scrap merchants is the
tyre shop. I drive in to an empty tyre bay, but soon enough a lad appears finds
a cheap brand new Bridgestone tyre and fits it for me. Job done, and a good few
quid saved. A worthwhile outing.
In the afternoon the eldest and I go over to Liverpool
to register her at the main library. The new library had not been open that
long and it was our first visit, and I have to say it is very nice. There is a
beautiful, very traditional looking reading room, and some great new
technology. You can check out your books by putting them all on the scanner in one
big pile, insert your card, and it prints you out a list of your books, all with
the due dates. Very clever. In addition there is a wider selection than I’m
used to, which is an added bonus. We wander up by the University, and are amazed
at the amount of Chinese/Japanese students that there are walking around. We couldn’t figure out if they
were all here for summer courses, or if they were full time students who just didn’t go home for the summer?
An evening run out at football and a couple of texts
from the youngest, which compare well with yesterdays solitary text from him,
and a rather successful day is over.
Yours enjoying the summer.
Jay
