We couldn’t come back here until today because I had my second Covid jag yesterday, at ten past seven in the evening at the Ally McCoist centre in East Kilbride. I’m delighted to say that I have had no headache this time and Marjory has told me that with Astra Zeneca there seem to be less side effects with the second dose.
It was actually an overly warm car journey today because the air conditioning in the car has stopped working and only blew hot air around the car. This was the least of our worries however, as we later got a sudden warning message on the dashboard to say that the brakes were faulty and we needed to go straight to a garage. We were nearly at Ullapool by this time so I drove the last couple of miles to the cottage rather nervously and very cautiously. After we unpacked James took the car to the nearby garage and it turns out to be a very serious (and expensive) fault which will require the whole abs (the braking system) to be replaced. We will know more about the cost and timescale of the repair tomorrow but we are currently without the use of the car.
Apart from that it has been fantastic to be back at the cottage. James mowed the grass while I went for a swim at the Lochbroom Leisure Centre, and we met up in the village to pick up a celebratory fish (and veggie burger) supper. We relaxed and watched the Great British Sewing Bee on television.
