Preparation

Woke up this morning to find that the car park gate had been damaged during the night. As a result I couldn’t get the car out and had to go to work on the train. Don't mind that so much but I needed to go to Gullane this evening to register for the triathlon. Phoned the factoring agent who managed to get it fixed by the time I got back.

Had to phone up the solicitors to go over a few things as well. I got a young shouty woman on the end of the phone who refused to listen to any of my questions fully and just wanted to talk at me. Her main point, which was repeated numerous times, seemed to be that they were very reluctant to do any further work or ask any further questions until they received our mortgage offer. J found out that the mortgage offer was posted out to them today so can't wait to hear what the next lot of excuses will be from her. Still did manage to get her to ask if a few things were being left by the other people and if we are getting instruction manuals for all the bits.

Came back and managed to get to Gullane to register for the triathlon. There were a few people braving the conditions to set up transition for the morning. Thanks to them for doing it in the rain. Hopefully it will be better tomorrow. Collected J from work and went to the post office to collect her changing robe. This is a waterproof dressing gown in effect to allow us to change on the beach as bit easier and with a bit more dignity.
Early to bed after getting stuff ready for the morning.
