Ded as roadkil, my car
Well, that was tiresome.
I got into the car to head off to the supermarket, and zilch. Nothing. Nada. It was roadkill. Fortunately, Toyota have kindly extended our free call-outs by three months, so Beast called someone who came—fortunately, as it turned out—an hour sooner than promised, and detected a faulty ignition battery. A further frantic phone call, and we headed off in a miniature convoy, me in the Prius, Beast in FIL's all-electric car, to the Toyota garage. If we got there before 5pm they could book us in for whatever. We made it with four minutes to spare. So Beast drove me home in the Mercedes, and we may get the Prius back on Tuesday, if we're lucky. Fortunate that there is a spare car on the premises, because I don't suppose taxi drivers are operating, and it's quite a long walk back from the Toyota garage.

Also, I got an odd message from LiveJournal saying they had re-set my password, though neglecting to tell me what they might have set it to. And I don't think my DW posts are cross-posting. I'm trying to decide whether to care.
