We have our car back with a new engine! It only cost us an extra 1/3 of the price they originally told us. Even at the dealership, you can always be sure they will neglect to tell you that your repair needs an extra 500 cedis' worth of parts and labor, which wasn't mentioned to you at all until the day the car was ready.
The engine runs well, anyway, but we are bringing it back because the steering wheel steers crooked (not the car's wheels, just the steering wheel). They say they can do that repair in a day. Here's hoping.
The weather's nice nowadays; cool in the mornings and evenings and very manageable during the day. We're gearing up for our visit to Europe next week - we leave Thursday night and I'm really excited. We're spending a 24-hour layover in Istanbul seeing the sights. Then I'll be looking at wedding dresses in Dublin and going to a wedding in Germany. A month later we're off to Toronto, two weddings in the States and a four-day whirlwind planning trip for our own next May.
Work has offered me a new contract and a raise. All I gotta do now is get my life settled down enough to get blogging again and start planning our wedding...!
