9th Dec W. Took the Micra car  down for servicing at nine AM  or so. Then  the many servicing my car  drove me   to mid valley shopping centre. Rather unnerving. I  have never been a passenger in it.  I had my foot on the non-existent brake all the way.
 I had to get an extra back scrubbing brush for Vad.  The chemist for this  and  also I  got a box of chocolates (Whitmans- a traditional purchase) for Vad for when Xmas arrive ( soon I'm told).
Another taxi home. Had to get money from the ATM there. Never like these devices.
In the afternoon the lady arrives who helps Vad shower. Vad still needs this help. Her shoulder is not healed as yet. But not all that painful. A blessing. For much of the day she doesn't wear the sling. And she does mild exercises.
About 3PM I got a taxi to collect my car. $13 it cost). The car was ready for me all serviced. New wipers etc.
I had to get the young secretary to enter my credit card numbers onto the machine as I couldn't read the numbers (they were black) . She explained that this was because the young mechanics used it and they had greasy fingers. Sounds like it would be real.
Home I go.
