Hard to believe this little one will be a year old tomorrow,

my goodness, it feels like she was just born.....

Feeling my age, especially today.....

I have had an unexpected day off of work

- why, you ask????

The dreaded freeway smash......

After ten years of accident free

driving in Australia.....

Yep, driving into work this morning at 6.30,

pitch dark, pouring with rain, rush hour

freeway traffic - you get the picture......

Ute in front of me braked and stopped,

I braked and stopped,

car behind me, didn't stop

- CRUNCH.......CRUNCH.....

Got smashed from the back

and shunted into the ute in front of me

- what a mess, my poor wee car.....
Thankfully, nobody was hurt, and we

were eventually towed off of the freeway,

but my car is a wreck, especially the front

- the ute had a tow bar to die for,

it was a works vehicle, no messing with these guys....

Thus, the whole front of my car has

just disintegrated. However, the wonderful

blokes at the repair shop say it is perfectly

repairable, it's only a year old, poor thing.....

Luckily, the car who hit me, her insurance

company will foot the bill for me to have

a hire car, mine will be off the road

for about four weeks - waiting for parts.....

What, I hear you ask, has that to do with my

name in lights?????

Tow truck removed my car from the freeway,

and dropped me at a garage so that hubby could

come and pick me up - so he's driving

along the freeway to get me, and the big electronic

signs over the road (used for warnings, etc)

stated 'Accident on Mount Henry Bridge now cleared,

proceed with Caution' - that was ME.

OK, so MY name wasn't actually in lights,

but close as... Gotta look on the bright side

- as I said, a very nasty crash, but no injuries

- the ambulance did turn up, but we were all OK....

So, Dad and Son, if you are reading this in Scotland

- I'm fine, just a wee bit shaken,

and never got to work - spent the whole

day filling in police reports, insurance claim forms,

organizing hire car (collect tomorrow).....

Will go tomorrow and see my car and

get some photo's, imagine, a scrapbooker,

and I didn't have my camera with me!!!!

Hugs for now
