Here we are, and it's nearly the end of August already. Weather hasn't been very summery with loads of showers (both heavy and not so) and some sunny periods.
Mark is busy chasing jobs while his girlfriend has just completed her first week in the working world.
My Mum & Dad are both keeping well and have been in good spirits for these last few weeks, while Sue's parents are being as cantankerous and unhelpful as usual. Her sister Janice is coming up to visit tomorrow while my brother and sister have just arrived at Mum's in time for dinner, stopping overnight before returning to Colchester.
Yesterday I had the day off and went to The Car People in Sheffield to test drive a Skoda Octavia TDi vRS. It was damned quick and comfortable but loud road and engine noise has ruled it out for me. I also test drove a VW Passat TDi 140 which was a relevation - so I'm now on the lookout for a Passat with the 170bhp engine.
