Day Fifteen

Today was all about cars.  Robb decided that we didn't need the larger compact car that we had rented to begin with and decided to "down size".  Now down sizing here in the UK can be dangerous.  You can get really really small cars.  Without knowing exactly what we were down sizing to, off we went to the Enterprise car rental shop in Dundee this morning. 

We were driving a Vauxhall four door large compact when we drove in

Dark greyAutomatic with all the

bells and whistles

And we returned home in a

Light grey

Compact

With very few bells and whistles.

Being ever a good steward of his company's funds, this new car cost us 7 pounds less each day and uses less petrol because it has a smaller engine.  I actually liked it better because you sit up higher in the front seat and could see better out the front window.

Speaking of windows, this new car now sports our latest addition in the world of electronics in it's front window.  Our new Tom Tom, with the sweet English voice of a lady we christened Eglantine (from which movie kids?), was installed.  We had a meeting in St. Andrews today so she had her first try at getting us where we needed to be with less frustration, time and gas that the previous navigator had been providing.  Other than telling us to turn down a street that had been for pedestrians only since the early 1850's she was wonderful.  Now, instead on one woman telling Robb where to turn, he has two!

Word for today - Tyre  or Tire

Love to all,
