The car's still broke.

The garage thinks that its the fuel pump too. Sadly they couldn't get a new one today. It will probably be ready tomorrow.

Not having a car at all is really quite difficult. While I can generally get by during the day without (Paws has the car), there are too many things that are too far away from public transport. While I'm happy to walk several miles to get somewhere, Louisa's legs are short(er) and she just doesn't have the stamina to go that far.

In particular, Zoomania is nowhere near a bus route. This is particularly irritating during the school holidays.
