Back behind the wheel

With thanks to Enterprise car rentals, I now have transport again which should enable me to complete a few immediate commitments and help look for replacement (long term) transport arrangements.

I can't say it was easy getting back in the driving seat - having been a passenger with both Lynne and Richard over the last few days all I could visualize was all the potential accidents awaiting at every bend, junction, cyclist, pedestrian etc. Didn't exactly make for a pleasant experience.

Picked up the hire car today and made a trip to the recovery garage to recover the tax disc from the old Focus. Recovery chap confirmed the Focus was taken for salvage this morning.

Insurance will I guess take its time. Solicitors are now on-board regarding personal injuries - so who knows where this will lead to.

Planning to do some work this week though taking it steady.

Prior to the accident I had registered for the Gloucestershire British Heart Foundation bike ride and I fully intend to complete this on the 15th May. So if you have a few pounds spare I'd really appreciate a small sponsorship donation. The reason I do this ride is that I lost my father to heart problems in 1996, so the least I can do is to try to raise a little amount to help the BHF in its research and care programmes.
