Slowly, Slowly

For Katy and myself, the plans for today included dropping Ella off at preschool then doing a multitude of errands involving lots of driving and getting in and out of the car. Our plans started well but things slowed down significantly....

Preschool drop off was smooth and efficient. Then off to our first stop - a new tube for the pram from the local bike shop. Easy. However when driving out from my street park, I discovered the steering wheel was pulling massively to the right. It seemed that the car decided to have some sympathy with the pram and the front right wheel was flat as a tack! After a 45 minute wait, the NRMA man swapped the tyre over and we were off again only now to include a trip to the mechanic on our list.

Next port of call was to fill the gas bottle up from camping world conveniently located around the corner from the bike shop and mechanic. Upon arriving the shop looked suspiciously closed and a sign on the front door revealed they'd moved. Re juggling of the order of the list saw us do another errand prior to arriving at the newly located camping world. While the gas bottle was being filled we thought we'd have a coffee break at the little coffee shop next-door.

Then we were off again, crossing off various tasks on our list without any major hiccups. Katy by this stage was sick of getting in and out of the car (don't blame her). Luckily at the last stop we found these oversized snails to lay on. We arrived back home just around 1ish, enough time to finish cleaning the house before picking up Ella and the fixed tyre. I'm glad though the tyre had it's moment today as we are off (after work) to the mountains tomorrow for a weekend away with a group of Andy's colleagues. Now off to do some packing....
