SO AFTER ALL THAT I actually bought a car today. It was more expensive than the one with no clutch but, er, that should be quite obvious, I think. I haggled down the price and everything.

It is a blue Ford Fiesta, R reg. It has reasonable tax and MOT on it, slightly too many miles but a decent engine and also it looks pretty yes I am a girl. I am unbelieveably excited about this even though I am also now pretty much broke until my compensation money comes in, which I am aware will be in several months, ahem.

I have a weird and uncontrollable urge to call it Legolas on the basis it feels like a Legolas. Still, car names tend to evolve in time so I'm sure it will soon develop a name and character of its own.

I can't quite believe I've done this. I've been talking about getting a new car for about a year and after all that I sort of just bought one. I am mad, but, well, this is nothing new. I flail for months about doing a thing and then just go "OOOH SHINY" and just sort of do it. (See: picking a house to live in.)
