Bloody rain.<\/p>\n
Can\u2019t believe it is this bad. Still. <\/p>\n
Still.<\/p>\n
Last night the weather was so bad I took my car about a 1\/4mile in the pouring rain and left it paying an displaying until 10am this morning. If you are regular reader of this blog you will know I am not a great sleeper. A great pain in the backside yes but not a great sleeper. So when I awoke this morning at 9.53am I jumped out of bed and ran like the wind to retrieve it before I was given a ticket. <\/p>\n
So as I sloped back to get my car you can imagine the devastation on clocking a ticket under the windscreen. Grrrrr. So angry was I that I just reversed out of the space and crumped right into the side of a guys car. <\/p>\n
Reparking I emerged apologising as he examined the side of his car. <\/p>\n
\u2018I am so sorry. Soooooooooo sorry. Bloody woman drivers! That\u2019s what I\u2019m thinking and I\u2019m a woman. What an idiot.\u2019<\/p>\n
\u2018Oh\u2019 he said smiling \u2018 it looks fine. It sounded a lot worse than it looks\u2019<\/p>\n
At this point I could have hugged him. I mean really. What are the odds of a man behaving like that when you have whacked into his nice red shiny car. (No I don\u2019t know what kind it was ).<\/p>\n
\u2018I will give you my name and address for insurance stuff\u2019 I said guddling around in my car for a pen, which I didn\u2019t have of course. \u2018Och I don\u2019t have a pen I can\u2019t find one\u2019 I said gibbering by this stage.<\/p>\n
\u2018Oh don\u2019t worry it really looks fine he said give me your mobile just in case but it looks to me like you can just forget it\u2019.<\/p>\n
Well talk about make my day. What a gent. A knight in shining armour. It restored my faith in the human race.<\/p>\n
Can you imagine Jeremy Clarkson \u2013 petrol head and curly topped, public school boy full of bluster \u2013 in similar circumstances? I suspect a slightly different reaction. So with a spring in my step and a song in my heart I sloped home to thank my lucky stars.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
