Day of slippers

A day of low skies and spirits. The holidays over, thoughts turn to work and lists of chores.

I was looking forward all day to an evening of dancing. Arranged for a lift into town to pick up the car - still patiently waiting for us to arrive on a boat from Shetland. Unfortunately it seems the wait was too much for it. The battery was completely flat!

Luckily my lift had waited, so there was nothing for it but to return home to the slippers.

The only consolation is to think how much worse it would have been to discover this non-starting car having disembarked off a rolling ferry at 11pm.
