Home and curled up with the cat. I think I will snooze the afternoon away.
My new car is automatic which I have switched to with ease. There has only been twice in the last month where I have tried to change gear. Not bad going.
I do struggle with reversing up a hill. My GDPR I’ve is on a slope and I have a lip at the front of the garage. I hadn’t appreciated how much I used the clutch to control my speed when reversing.
One negative is the rear camera is rubbish if it’s wet or dark. Of course this is an unusual state of affairs in the UK in winter.
An exciting plus, it has Automatic Full Beam! I put it on at night and it will dip if it sees headlights, rear lights or street lights and then go back to full beam when they have gone away.
It also has heated wing mirrors.
That's reminded me how happy I am not to have to go to work next week. Isn't a buffet when you walk round and get food but I suppose older people can't do that in a care home.
On the other hand, we also had the lovely carol concert in the Abbey, and Juliet and I had a good look around Dobbies in Tewkesbury this morning which was very festive. I signed up for their loyalty card (£15 a year, two free hot drinks a month which they proudly say is 'worth £70 a year ' 
) and 'saved' £26 at once on loyalty-card-priced goods, though as Mr merry would say, that 'saving' was not actually put into my hand, in fact I gulped when I saw the overall dent in my bank account!
