Expensive

Have been experiencing a financial holocaust since my trip to the Highlands, I already told you the main points, however more work was needed to get my Suzuki through the MOT, been throwing good money after bad. So I got myself a new car, a 2014 model, should do me for a few years as it's covered by warranty for many years. I love the thing, I can plug a stick into the USB and off I go listening to my entire music collection, certainly a step up from the cars I've had up until now.

Went down to Devon in south west England last week, flew down to Exeter and hired a car, was good to rediscover the area. Even visited Agatha Chritie's house, very interesting. The ales also tasted good, especially Jail Ale. Holidays go very quickly however so before I was back at work before I knew it.

I thought I'd done loads this month, I probably have, but I cannot think of much just now. My early morning runs continue, although not very many this month. I prefer back shifts (starting 2pm or so) rather than 9am starts now, but shifts will change each week as before next year.

Has been an expensive month but this happens from time to time, looking forward to the Spooky Walk (in aid of the RNLI) through Kinghorn tomorrow night, it's now a tradition for me.

Here are photos of my new car (blurred I'm afraid), a steamer going down the river Dart, a statue of King Billy in Brixham (where he arrived in England in 1688, why the Ulster rather than English flag?) and Agatha Christie's house at Greenway. Agatha's house was great, a few of her novels are set in the area. Saw a lot more of course, maybe I'll update you later, until November!
