Still Here - Just not doing much typing :{

Hiya all. Sorry for the length of time since my last Blog. Slapped wrist and all that!!! OK I was just being lazy.

The car is great, I have now done over 2000 miles in it and this coming weekend will be taking it for it's first outing with the caravan. We will be going up to Banchory in Scotland. It is just to the west of Aberdeen. It is an area of the country that I have not been to before so I am looking forward to it. It is about 3 hours from where I live (just to the West of Glasgow) so it should be a good run for the motor.

One thing that I have noticed is that I do not get the mileage out of it that I did with the Peugeot. I used to get 2 weeks out of a tank full but this one has to be refilled each week. Not quite the same amount but still noticeably less miles per tank (and it is a bigger tank!!). The Peugeot used to give me about 40 miles to the gallon. The Kia must be about 35-36. Now that does not sound much but when you do over a 1000 miles a month it adds up. OK I am not doing the heavy miles of a Commercial Salesman but that is basically just commuting to and from work plus a few trips at the weekend.

So much for that moan

The weather outside is glorious and I do not want to be in the office. Where I work has no natural daylight and is cooled by Air Conditioning so I never know what it is like outside till I go home.

The weather is supposed to last till the end of the weekend so I should get some benefit with the caravan. What it will be like next week is another matter.

Anyway byeeee for now.
