Yesterday, I drove my son to Manchester where we booked into a hotel, met my daughter and then went to watch Lorde in concert. Both kids loved it, my son saying he liked it more than Taylor Swift. I think it was a great concert. The downside was that my wife had booked tickets with early entry, but two morons at the gate refused us the access she paid for. Fortunately, it was third time lucky and while we did not get in as early as we should have, we did get in early.
I also got to meet my brother today, my daughter coming down to see him from her room, my son however was asleep. Driving to Manchester and back in my electric car was fun. I had to take a rest due to its range, which meant that I got to recharge at the same time as the car. This meant that the drive was not too bad and was enjoyable.
The drive back was slightly more stressful as the services at Keele had a slow charger, one which switched off once we went for food. But things could have been worse. Two young women could not find their car, having parked on the northbound services and were looking for it over the bridge on the southbound one! Later, we had to find a charger on the A14 which was harder than it was on the A1 which had more services with charging for electric cars. But things could have been worse. My daughter was to get a direct train to Bristol, but that was cancelled and she had to take two trains, one part of her journey involved her sitting on the floor outside the toilets on the train!
Anyway, time to relax now...
