Poor old car

Today our faithful old car finally let me down in a probably terminal way - broken timing belt apparently.  I lost power around 10.15 am and after two long waits for AA rescue vehicles, I and the car arrived home again at 5.30 pm.  Due to Covid the first rescue van could only tow me to a safe place (layby on dual carriageway) because I could not sit in the cab.  So I waited for hours for this vehicle which could transport both the car and me (behind a screen in the cab) home.  Well we'll find out later if it is worth fixing it, but 230 000 miles on the clock is not bad.
