Nearly seven months since the taxi bumped into it, we finally got the phone call today that our car is going in to be fixed at the end of this week. They say a hire car will be waiting, but considering they'd put aside a manual when James can only drive an automatic, I suspect things may still not go smoothly. But still, one more step toward Rosie having a complete wing mirror and undented side panels again.

Milo had his nails cut by the visiting vet nurse this morning. She was so great with him, rewarding with some Dreamies, and giving some to Murphy too even though he spent the whole visit watching from a distance. Considering it cost the same as a nail trim at the vets it was well worth the money.

Then after that, we've been for a walk at the coast and enjoyed a diet Coke in an ocean-side beer garden.

I also snagged a Magic Bag to a new-to-us place and picked that up after nipping into Company, as both places were close together. I really should have seen what was in the Magic Bag first as I duplicated salad stuff, potatoes and strawberries, but all will be used. The bag was excellent value for what I paid, though strangely I was given two carriers full, the contents of each identical. Included in that was two cartons of oat milk, which made me smile as Company had a special of the long life stuff last week where you could buy six cartons of oat and almond milk for £1. So as I drink both I came home with 12 cartons, and now I have two more.

And ha, the nurse has just posted Milo on FB -- she did ask if she could earlier.

sending all sorts of quickly-fixed vibes Rosie's way - hopefully things will go smoothly and you can enjoy driving blemish-free again

hi Milo's sweet face!

sounds like you got a really great haul - happy consuming :)

I'm keeping my fingers crossed Rosie is fixed fast and hassle-free. Though wouldn't be at all surprised if something else goes wrong.

It was an excellent haul. The strawberries alone made the price worth it.

Milo! \o/

You'll be able to see Milo is still using his heated bed, despite it being so warm. I remain so glad you recommended it.

Yay for ~finally getting the car fixed! I hope everything goes smoothly with the repairs and the rental.

I'm glad the experience wasn't stressful, but Milo does not look impressed. *g*

Yay for a nice walk and sit down.

That's a lot of milk!

Seven months to get the repairs started is ridiculous. I'd love to know what the hold up was, but suspect it'll always be a mystery.

You're right, Milo doesn't look impressed at all. He doesn't fight nail trims, but I'm sure he wouldn't volunteer for one.

So much milk! Thankfully most of it is the long-life kind so doesn't need to be stored in a fridge. Otherwise, I'd be seriously running out of space for actual food.

My take-awat from this comment: You have milk that doesn't need to be stored in a fridge?!! Even our oat/almond milk needs refrigerating!

Yep. The long life stuff can last for many many months without needing to be in the fridge. It doesn't taste exactly the same, but close enough that it's always handy to have some in the house for if I run out of the fresh milk.

Aww Milo looks so sweet🖤

Milo was posing like a pro!

Glad you're car will be home soon, and ready to roll.

That's awesome that they can come to your house for the same price as you bringing him to the vet.

Awww, he's still a cutie! (But I think he wants more treats and fewer trims!)

I still can't believe that it's taken so long to arrange the repairs to our car. I was starting to think she'd have a plastic bag over the back of the mirror forever.

I was surprised at the cost as I was expecting more as she comes to the house. I wasn't really sure what to expect at first but she was so good with Milo, gave him fusses, got the job done and was gone within 15 minutes.

But I think you're right, Milo would want more treats and fewer trims *g*

Seven months is a ridiculously long time to wait for car repair! It's the end of the week already (where did time go??!) so I hope everything has gone smoothly.

That's so cool getting Milo's claws trimmed at home cost the same as at the clinic! He's such a cute and grumpy old man in that photo *scritches him behind the ears*

That's A LOT of milk!

It's a stupidly long time for a car repair. I knew it would be longer than usual due to places being shut over Christmas and New Year, but this long is a joke. But thankfully the hire car came without a hitch.

I don't think he was impressed at someone coming into his house to trim his nails!

So much milk. I'm very glad it's the kind that doesn't need to be cold.
