March is the most important month of the year for Ginny. It's the month she was 'born' and she'll be eight in four days time. Being birthday month, it also means it's MOT and insurance time. Yesterday was the MOT. I never have any worries about her passing, she's well looked after, being regularly serviced and despite her advancing years, and with 44,700 miles on her clock, she still fires up first prod of the button after 3 months in hibernation. She passed her test with flying colours and now sits patiently, waiting for me to put some more miles under her wheels.
This year the plan is not to go abroad, if you don't count Ireland as abroad, so there won't be as many miles clocked up this year, as in previous years, unless I start ticking things off my list of UK places to visit. I shall be spending a few days away with Phil in August, where we're doing the British MotoGP round. We had talked about it and now it's all booked up.
An embryo of a plan, is to take in some the the sites on my places to visit list, that are clustered around Southampton, one of them being the Solent Sky Museum, formerly the Supermarine Museum I believe. I've asked my friend Helen if she fancies a day out, which will give her an excuse to get her NC750 out of the garage. I can pick her up on the way down, as she lives in Guildford. There's no date for that yet but she's on board with the idea.
I've not sorted out Ginny's insurance yet, I have a few days before it auto renews, so will need to get cracking on that. It's not easy finding like for like and also very time consuming. The renewal's not a bad price but still, it's always worth checking out other avenues.
That's all for now. Spring has sprung, roll on summer.
