Wednesday 17th September 2025

Took ages to get to sleep…shouldn’t have taken an afternoon nap yesterday! Got up around 0815…Aki cycled off to Rowing Club, convinced the rain was going to stay away. I fired a text message off to Bob Eaton to see if there was any chance of getting cast in next year’s New Vic revival of Good Golly Miss Molly. Porridged. Did some exercises before settling down in front of the athletics. Aki back for lunch. I went for a late afternoon walk, as I’d not had any exercise for two weeks. Took it slowly. As I walked back I walked past my car and noticed the wing mirrors were deployed…I accused Aki of having left the car unlocked for two weeks, but when we tried the doors, they were locked. Items had obviously been tampered with inside…my binoculars were missing, and my night driving glasses. We assume the car key has been cloned. Tried in vain to get through to the police via 101…reported the incident online instead. Had hoped to ask whether this meant someone could gain access to the car at will, but no such luck. Eventually got a report back together with a crime reference number…tried the helpline number on the report and got through surprisingly quickly. But the guy on the phone didn’t know enough about cars to help out with my queries…I’ll need to phone VW tomorrow. Watched ‘Toxic Town’. Decided to unload what was left in the car in case it was going to get stolen tonight! Hope it’s still there in the morning…!!!
