Wednesday:

Call insurer, book car windscreen replacement prior to upcoming “MOT” annual vehicle inspection – reason: a small chip in the windscreen that had previously been repaired but is now starting to spread in a radial, starburst pattern of cobweb-like cracks.

Thursday:

RAC Auto-Windscreen team arrive, do windscreen replacement, seems like a good job.

Friday:

MOT test in afternoon, drive to Basingstoke, erad e-mail and watch movie on laptop while car is tested. Car passes with clean bill of health.

Saturday:

Drive to Camberley along newly and pointlessly tarred-and-gritted A30; car in opposite lane hurtles past, kicks up pebble that puts a small starburst-like chip into new windscreen.

Sigh.
