> The battery’s very sluggish, not even enough turn turn the engine over properly, or power the dashboard lights. It shouldn’t be a flat battery, it’s a heavy duty one and it’s less than a year old. It’s very strange that it went from perfectly fine, to almost completely dead, in the space of a few days.

That’s how fast a dying battery goes flat. It should still be under warranty, so go to whomever you bought it from and demand a new one.

I made an invented dish last night of pasta with salmon and broccoli in a cream sauce. It was good, but a huge mistake for me. I don’t tolerate milk well at all, and boy did I pay for that. Oatmeal this morning to try to settle things down. Woof.
