Motors

Lowri has just gone out in the New Car to fetch Philomena from visiting a friend. The New Car got off to a bad start (or rather, didn't) because the day after we brought it home, the battery was totally flat and wouldn't do anything. So, I phoned the garage, went down there in the old car to borrow their battery kickstart thing, came back home, started the new car, drove that to the garage, and got them to replace the battery. Which they did graciously and without fuss. I just wish they'd done it before.

By contrast, the lawnmower is rejuvenated since its service. They have even got the self-propelling mechanism to work again, so it springs forward like an eager thoroughbred when I squeeze the handle. We cleared a lot of leaves together yesterday.
