More bloody car troubles. The throttle cable snapped yesterday.
Luckily I was in one of the few mobile-signal-hotspots on that road, so I called the RAC, then The Husband (who was at work doing overtime) and then My Sister, who can always be relied upon to cheer me up when I ring her and say things like "I only came out to get something unhealthy for lunch because I'm working on my dissertation and I need cheering up because I've forgotten how to write and Oh My God I left the oven on because I thought I'd only be out of the house for 20 minutes and now I'm going to be here for an hour and a half at least because the RAC man is at the other end of the county argh argh argh".
In the end the RAC man did a bodge job and we delivered the car to the garage this morning, and it should be done tomorrow, and shouldn't cost too much.
In other and better news, despite being stuck at home where I normally find it hard to work without getting horribly distracted, I got 1200 words of lit review written.
