I have three giant dandelions stuck in the lawn.We had a very interesting couple of hours at Fantasywire . I feel very lucky, the waiting list is now over a year.
Hubby has a scratch on his car. We pulled in to a supermarket in Ashbourne on the way back. A little old lady in a huge car couldnt quite make it into the next bay. She looked about to burst into tears when I came out with the milk. He's washed it and examined it and decided he can polish it out. Far too much aggro to bother the insurance company.
Morning all who are on this site. Well it looks as though it's going to be one of THOSE days! I hung Hubby's farm shirts on the line, dragged the hose up the hill and gave the pots of miniature roses a preventive soaking, turned around and all his shirts had been wrapped around the line. My favourite - hot and windy. And then in for breakfast and the weather girl told me that Tassie will be getting snow tonight! C.R.A.Z.Y. Weather
i hope all of you over there appreciate the differences. I really would prefer cooler than hotter, even though Hosta probably doesn't believe me.
Fidgetbones, when I worked at Monash Uni, I used to park in a covered car park which was set aside for staff and students and I got some very memorable dents and scratches (no doubt from students driving daddy's car). Never saw a note of apology though.
Good morning all G'day Pat - I expect you're about
Dark and damp out there this morning. Apparently it's going to start getting a little cooler.
That was kind of your OH Fidget
My car is covered with dings from car parks, but the only time I saw it happen was when I was in the car park stationary in a queue of traffic when a chap in a car reversed out of his parking space into the rear wheel of my car - apparently I hadn't been there when he looked - that must've been a good two or three minutes before he reversed !
When I said it was a good job there wasn't a pedestrian walking past his car he said that he'd have seen a pedestrian! What, and he didn't see a damn Renault Megane???
Fortunately for him his bumper hit my wheel and despite really rocking the car it didn't do any damage - don't think he'll forget doing it in a hurry - he looked pretty sheepish when I'd finished with him.
I find that most dings seem to be the height of the bottom corner of the door of a 4WD-type car - think it's children flinging the door open - nowadays I try to park as far away from other cars as possible.
Once when I was driving home from work a child flung a car door open just as I passed - although I was only doing about 20mph (narrow residential road with humps) it took off most of the side of my little Micra
The car owner/driver explained that it wasn't her fault because it wasn't her child - she'd been picking up her boss's child from school and dropping him off at the hair salon where she worked.
The nice policeman explained slowly and patiently whose responsibility it was

Hi Dove. How are you today? I laughed at your "nice policeman" story.
Have your hedgehogs reappeared since the stump removal? We love watching the wildlife here. There is a wallaby with a pouch that is so full, it sort of drags along on the grounds when she stops to graze. We've been able to see the joey grazing as well but I'm impatient to see it emerge and start to hop around. There is always at least one adult male nearby when she come down next to the house and the other day there was a second one nearby. I'll try to post a photo (from the bedroom window so not brilliant). The third wallaby is down the hill behind the white bird feeder.
You do tell a good story Dove. I always park away from the busy areas in car parks too but have still had a few dents. One from a runaway trolley that I was too far away to stop.
Fidget I'm delighted for you that you have your dandelions for Christmas. Where's the pic?
KEF I'm afraid I didn't read your post before we went out yesterday or I certainly would have braved the helter-skelter. We had a good look round and OH bought ne a fur-trimmed hat that kept my ears nice and toasty. Had a nice Italian meal so no cooking.
Think 'our' hedgehogs are hibernating now Pat - probably snuggled up in the dry leaves under the rear neighbours' huge hedges. Great photo - think that Joey needs to give his mum a break and use his own legs!
