Wrapped up in Aberdeen

[mtbc]

Today we drove over to Aberdeen to finish the cleaning in our flat there then drop the keys off at the letting agent's office. It's been remarkably foggy so I used the fog light on the car, though I haven't actually observed it myself yet, I'll have to turn it on again, get out and look at it. For some reason, in driving between Aberdeen and Glasgow, I find that the stretch between Perth and Stirling feels the longest. Now we are back at our Glasgow flat.

The letting agent's cleaning checklist is laughable, many pages long. As always, we leave the flat cleaner than we found it. For a fair few places, if they really did pay professional cleaners before we moved in then they need to be engaging a different one! I have never moved into a flat where a persnickety cleaning specification appeared to have been remotely followed by the previous occupants, though I have been thanked by private landlords for leaving the flat so clean.

I'm glad to hear you're all moved! I know that must feel good.

It's certainly a relief to get more things behind us. Now we can work on settling everybody in and various related administrivia, I'll do a bit more of that this weekend.

My Subaru has fog lights, and they switch on when turned off when I steer into a corner for additional illumination.

I liked our 1981 Oldsmobile Regency '98, had white lights low-down on the sides right at the front that performed a similar function, I miss various things like that from the old nicer sedans.

It's kinda funny how there were some pretty amazing features on older cars that just don't exist anymore.
