_.Bitterly cold. Hideous car news. Home at 6. Steak and kidney with dumplings. Ally excited to be going out tonight to see cousin Jackie. We haven't ventured out for God knows how long.
We went out at 8, and the car wouldn't start and so, bright spark here, pushed Audrey out of Club Street and down the hill in the hope that the roll would 'jump start' her. Ally took the wheel but the car was dead and after some yards the car came to a grinding halt, a sad and depressing halt. Nothing could be done, and so we deserted Audrey and walked back to Club St.
Ally was close to tears with frustration and disappointment. That, she says, is it. The car is going to the knackers yard. I phoned Sue to ask about Pete's battery charger. She's as dotty as ever. I then phoned Jackie, who was waiting for us and has made a lasagne. Without further ado, she deposited the lasagne in her car and drove to us [minus the dog]. She then drove us down to inspect the car in the blackness of the night. We slipped and slid around the dormant vehicle.
Home at 10 to Jackie's lasagne. I showed Jackie the Wilson family tree and was excited to learn that Auntie Eleanor has some documents. She left at 11 and we sat until 12:30 - bloated. Certainly didn't expect food this evening.
