Vroooom!

Today I wasn't working until 12, so it gave me a much welcomed opportunity to have a lie-in. Of course, I woke up at seven and regardless of how tired I was, didn't get back to sleep. Another sleep-based failure.

Once at work, I had a mixed day; it was a strange, annoying sort of day where it would suddenly jump from being busy to being completely dead. This means that you never know what you should be doing as you get into the routine of scouting for anyone needing help by which time the place has become deserted. This lets you relax a bit, finding something to do by which time it has become busy again and customers start getting frustrated at you not helping them. This pattern continued for most of the day. I did remember my iPod today but someone kept switching it off meaning, arguably worse than terrible music, there was prolonged periods of NO music.

I was picked up from work by my Dad, as there are hardly any buses on a Sunday and we headed off to Dingwall to get a car. The winter pretty much destroyed our current car with the constant battle to get up our hill, so a new one was called for. We got a Ford Mondeo Ghia with a V6 engine. It sounds like a ludicrous choice as a petrol guzzler, but it has been LPG converted so for the price of a gallon of petrol will attain around 60 miles. After all the legal stuff with the seller had been done we drove it home and it is incredible. Anyone who nay-says LPG is wrong: this car runs amazingly.

Early start at work tomorrow. Being a bank holiday there's a good chance it may be rather busy. If so, it will be enjoyable.
