I don't think I did, I need to check Google to see what it thinks I drove.
If all goes to plan the Jazz will be back in use next Feb or Mar onwards but only for DIY stuff
......... just interrogated my Nov timeline and found it. I went on a works reunion lunch and I was driven from the old office to a local Beefeater (2008 Ford Focus) so the Jazz never went out last month

Do you periodically / continually has a trickle charger connected to keep the 12V battery healthy? It might also be prudent to give the car some exercise every couple of months to ensure the HV battery is also happy.

I use the CTEK every 2 weeks and normally go out for at least a half hour run monthly.
It had a CTEK today and just to warm and circulate the oil I powered up after disconnecting the CTEK. Heater/AC off and the engine cut out after just a few minutes so I assume it detected the HV battery didn't need any more
I also moved it a foot backwards in the garage so it's not going to flat spot the tyres

The giving the car a run thing is something I do on account of my low mileage. Indeed I think a fair percentage of the 2000 miles (give or take) I did between services 1 and 2 were "giving it a run" miles. I reckon I'd be down to about 1200 a year otherwise.
One trip last year over 50 miles - a day out at the seaside. A knackered Nissan Leaf would actually do me.

Never used this. How does it know you are walking? I recently walked 4 miles in London faster than cars in the traffic jams. And driven miles in a motorway hold up at a steady walking pace . How does it know you are on a bus,not in a car. I have searched google routes in the various modes and then followed them in that mode. But if you need to remember to set the correct mode every time you pop out to the local shop it it may not stay accurate or relevant. I might have run a marathon and had it recorded as a car journey. No proof I ran , other than my being dead. :P I also dread the day I go to a shop and a display or computer speaks to me " 'Welcome Lord V. We havnt seen you for 7 days ,3 hours 15 minutes 42 seconds . Google says you must need milk so this will automatically be charged to your google account. If it wasnt you 7 days ago, or you do not require milk please enter the code we have sent your phone "

Everyone keeps telling me I should install watsap or whatever it's called so they can contact me and send me stuff. I really don't want any sort of social meeja carp on my phone, there are enough ways for me to be monitored by "them" already.

I use WhatsApp on my phone but I would never connect it to the car

Just on WhatsApp I've found it's now the default communication method for family and friends. Rarely get texts these days apart from official or commercial bodies.
Wouldn't want it hooked up to the car though as Kremmen says.
