My poor sister. She arrived on Wednesday evening with a groaning, clattering, frankly terrifying noise coming from the Jeep's engine. It had been fine all the way from Devon, but after she stopped to fill up with petrol the last five minutes of the journey were, well. Bad.
Prudently she's covered all ways by the RAC so a chap in a bright orange van was soon with us, and declared that the air conditioning compresser was FUBAR. So I had to prise my eyelids apart enough to drive her to Heathrow for her conference yesterday morning.
Well. I've just collected her from the hotel near Heathrow and delivered her to the garage which has mended her car. She drove off, so I'm fingers-crossing that she'll make it back to (a) her conference, and (b) Devon, this evening!
She unwisely got me onto the topic of my sparkliness as we whizzed(ish) round the M25, thus confirming her belief that I am a Very Strange Person. However, I get many good sister points for chauffeur services. Go me.
