Two gold stars to the woman who stopped to help me jumpstart the new bike this morning (I think its name is Alsvidir, thanks to _snowrose_).
Unfortunately, she loses a star again for saying “maybe you should wait for a guy” when she couldn’t open her own bonnet because she never had before, didn’t know where her own battery was and panicked when I triple checked the clamp order and queried whether her hood actually had enough metal in it to be an earth when it didn’t work first time (I didn’t have the clamp quite on her positive terminal. It worked perfectly second time around).
More on my fabulous musical and artistic adventures after I’ve finished marking student assignments.
