As I expected, when I took a Covid test yesterday, it was clear. So we returned to the pub quiz, after an absence of a couple of months. It was a pleasant walk down the hill to the pub: the heat has passed (for the time being, at least) and it wasn't - quite - raining. Our team acquitted ourselves respectably in the quiz: not quite among the winners of cash prizes, not because we scored lower than usual, but because other teams scored higher. And we won the beer round, a rare triumph for us in identifying four out of five pictures of things beginning with D.
More good news: the mechanic has looked at the car, and pronounced it repairable - and comfortably within a reasonable budget. So we can hope it will last until we trade it in on that mythic electric car (at last report, says![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
durham_rambler, it has been constructed and is on its way to us on a slow boat from China).
In further signs of returning normality, I did a little light ironing this afternoon.
Upward and onward!
