Opened the shop to the sound of rain dripping into the window display once again. Buckets etc. in place. Kate the postie delivered the mail, which included a fine and penalty points from Strathclyde Police for jumping a red light in Glasgow last week in my quest for a pair of shutters for Nicky.

That brings me up to ten points. When I first got the new van last year I was unduly thrilled that it had a built-in satnav that provided an estimated time of arrival for journeys. So much so that to alleviate the boredom of long drives to buy books from distant houses, I used to play ‘beat-the-satnav’ and see how many minutes I could shave off the ETA. This had the unfortunate—but entirely predictable—consequence that I was caught speeding three times. I’ve had to stop now.
