Monday morning blues

I am writing this blog while holding for the Garmin Help Desk to answer their phone - I've only been holding for 25 minutes and hope by the time I finished typing I won't be listening to plinky plonk piano music that makes me think I'm in an elevator!
It's been a terrible start today.  I woke with my ham string threatening me with divorce if I went swimming so I decided to take the rest.  That proved costly as knocked out of my routine I stopped for diesel at a different garage and proceeded to fill my car with petrol!  Full marks to The Cross Garage in Stonehouse who were there in minutes and gave me a courtesy car to let me get on with my day - now there's service.  Not like Garmin who I am still waiting for!
But I need to apply an Ironman attitude and amend my plans and get the best result out of the day possible because that wee repair will cost, even at Davie's rates.  As for Garmin, wait they've answered the phone.  Well it's fixed and in total that took 42 minutes and no apology - should have known better.  Hopefully I won't need to do that again for a long time!  Onwards and upwards.
