May the testing commence

 It was a bit less windy today, but cold .


Rob had 2 hospital appointments today so we left early after bringing in the floor tiles for Jim, we then went to Lerwick.

After the 1st foot appointment we went to the garage to pick up a Toyota for a test weekend. We thought we had it all sussed and we're going to swap the Volvo for a Kia, but it's no longer on the motability scheme. So we have started again. It doesn't help that the down payments dont make sense this time and the most expensive car has a low down payment. So, we have this beastie til Monday.


We are pleased to have it for the weekend so we cab check the range. Specification says 271 miles on a charge. That is the first issue . At 99% it was showing 220. Put the heater on low 185. By the time we got home, 28 miles, down to 141. Hmmm. Still it's a really sweet drive. We will try a couple of others to compare.

Then we drove about 400yds from the hospital to see some waxwing in Lerwick. Seems funny to have them all to yourself!






We then went for his eye check and tried again at the waxwing. Nice redwing there too.











































They showed much better the 2nd time.

 We got home, excited to see the floor  it's looking smart.

Scenic trip out

 Still snow on the ground so there has been nothing going on with the house. Unfortunately the new tablet Rob has been on for his heart made...
