Day 95 - Knocked Out

Stewart hard at work in the garage

Stuck at home all morning... but glad to be there. Today was the day that the wall charger for the new car gets fitted in the garage - an important part of the process. The team from EDF Energy arrived bright and early at 08:00 so it was an early start for everyone.

It turned out to be a lengthy affair: the charger had to be fitted to the wall, as did the new distribution board.  Then the new smart meter for the three phase supply was to be installed (and it only just fitted into the space provided... phew....).

Lastly, all the wires needed connecting and the engineers did a great job of tidying everything up so that it looks really professional. 

All we need now is a car: the delivery of which is now scheduled for June 11th... and I am counting the days down!

Even before this was finished, it was time for me to head back to the Club for my third round match in the Mid-Week Knockout. When we fixed up the match, I was to give my opponent, Andy, some 4 shots but he has had such a purple patch recently that he now found himself giving me 2 instead: quite a turnaround!  As things turned out, I probably would have needed 1 more shot to beat him...

The match went to the 17th but his driving off the tee was just too good for me: continually approaching the green some 50 yards behind your opponent is not a recipe for success.  The match was a good one though, with each of us alternating good holes with poorer ones. At the end, the better player won, which is after all what is supposed to happen....
