Title Edited Text

The morning started with a calendar reminder for a punnet of grapes, but before I could even think about that, my phone was buzzing with messages from Deimantė. She's desperate to sell her car – dodgy remap, AC issues, fuel injectors – and wants my help coordinating everything. We went back and forth: Aurumas offered £1,300, but she's hoping for around £2,500 through Carlos. That money would be a deposit for a replacement. She's also got cleaning jobs lined up for a client named Jeremy – oven and fridge, maybe £50-£60. I told her I'd help get the quotes sorted, and she's got a mechanic coming to look at it before the MOT.

Then I had to coordinate with Suzana about picking up Anna from yoga. We agreed on lasagne and chips for dinner, and I drafted a complaint about the neighbours' children constantly intruding on our private land. I'm fed up with it. Later, I messaged John Taylor to decline his BBQ invitation because of delivery work. Sent him a location screenshot from my run, but then I saw something that stopped me cold – an elderly woman lying on the road. I told John, 'She's probably had that demented phone to tell me that she can't find a locking wheel nut for the car and she's blaming me.' Actually, that was about the missing locking wheel nut, not the woman. The woman – I don't know if she was dead. I reported it to John, and he mentioned a close friend of Bonnie is devastated and trying to get to Portugal.

In the evening, I had the phone call with Pedro Ferreira as planned – we each sent an attachment earlier. And there was a frustrating conversation about the brake discs and pads I already paid for that need installing in Sheffield. Someone's blaming me for the missing locking wheel nut, but the last time I saw it was when the wheel was off for welding. I snapped a bit in my self-notes: 'She's probably had that demented phone to tell me that she can't find a locking wheel not for the car and she's blaming me.' Not fair.

Earlier, I popped into a store and tried to pay cash, but they wouldn't take it. I'd left my card at home. The staff were nice about it, reassured me.

And there was a group chat about buying another Audi, but that shifted to a friend's drinking problem and responsibility – Robert insulted someone at a barbecue.

It's been a long day. Still thinking about that woman on the road.

Car Safety Self-Reminder

Oh, bloody hell. Well, you need to be careful. I think we should maybe change everything about cars because it used to be much easier just fixing local and we'll keep ahead of things, you know. I think it's a long way to go when you've got a fault to go to Peterborough. Be careful, please. You need to be safe because I can't let anything happen for you. And, yeah, you're lucky. I mean, I'm lucky because only 33 here, but what I can do.
