Drove a car for the first time since Boxing Day, going to the Co-op now deliveries can’t be had. I might’ve considered walking, but my heel is cracking and there was a lot to carry anyway.

BTW there is no zero emission car until there is zero emission electricity – and that will be a long time, even on these wind-rich shores.
