T-Bird Anni Rides Again

no one is about to read this anyway but I may as well….

Got a fair bit done yesterday although I had to resort ot the tumble dryer (what gives??? it’s summer!) and there’s still a bit of washing left due to Duke excavating the floor on his side to find socks!  Ho hum.

Had one of those awful sick moments last night.  Just as we were about to settle down for the night the phone rang.  Para answered and there was this "oh dear, oh, right, hmmm, yeh, his size would have been against him on that one, how’s the driver, I was only talking to him the other day, b…dy h.ll, do you want to speak to Anni?" all in a somber tone whilst my stomach tied itself in knots wondering who the … had been in an RTA and were they still with us.  Turns out it was Harley on th phone to say DC, who is the centre organiser for our local RedX and who is in the ambulance service, had been in an RTA.  His collegue had lost control of hte ambi on a shout and stuffed it in a ditch, hitting a tree (which stopped it from rolling but made it stop all of a sudden which is not good)  DC managed to scrabble out through the drivers side but had severe chest pains.  He’s been kept in for obs but aparently it’s "just" bruising from the seatbelt and not his heart.

Had very little sleep last night adn odd dreams when I was asleep so today could be a long one!  I suppose that serves me right for having spicy food for supper then doesn’t it   It’s the church fair (which of course is why it’s forcast to rain :wall: ) and Adam (Vicar) has asked me to !st aid the event in return for hte promise that Aprilia will be looked after/entertained for me.  That works for me - given a choice between sitting at home tired and grumpy wiht an over excited child or sitting somewhere else tired and grumpy with someone else entertaining said child what would you do?  Then tonight it’s back to Oulton whilst Duke packs up the car.  May start packing up before hand or at least getting the car ready.

So today’s job list then

Finish socks - am half way down first one so only 1.5 to go

Clear out car

find 2nd adult sleeping bag

pack study books

check everything else is ready for packing 

watch world go by at church fair (offering up the odd prayer here and there for no injuries on pony rides or with the ***** troupe dancers….. now   THAT would be a miracle)

make final check on fridge etc for perrishables

prod Aprilia into finally deciding what she wants to take, then add in something practical like wellies!

Well, it’s 8:30, I need to log off and get on.  I’m just not ready for this.  I really don’t know if I’m coming or going but I figure as long as the tent is in anything else is a bonus.
