Had to find and buy daughter a new motor last night or I should say she found the car.
First year of driving and she somehow rolled hers into a countryside ditch last sunday, was so deep that the police went passed her twice and dint notice the car.
She managed to climb out through the passenger window (as facing upwards) and scramble trough the brambles and thorn bushed, her legs are a mess.
Thankfully some kind women droves and stopped for her when the police turned up and then a ambulance by chance.
Not a phone call you want at 8pm sunday night after a few shandies.
Luckily her back is stiff and neck and the cuts is only thing wrong. Recovery chap said she was lucky to be alive as the car entering the ditch caused a dam stopping water escaping and if she was unconscious and no knew she was there then end of story, he produced a photo of another recovery where a similar accident causing the death of a person he attended as car on roof and no one knew lad was in it and drowned
As she drives like Miss Daisy it came as a shock.
Dreading the insurance bill next year for her.

Damn! Bloody scary stuff. Hope she get's her confidence back soon and the best medicine is to get back in the saddle.

The boy has made it to man-dom today so we're having lunch and a pint or two.

Good news is a get most of the day off as it's been brutal these last few months. I might have to work until the other makes 18 so I'm going to savour it for all the right reasons.

Congrats to the wee yin.

Just got from dinner and the pub and I'm well squiffy. The TNG, on the other hand, is none the worse.

Thanks big C.

TNG corrected me by explaining that although he is doing computer science and math for 4 years, they are technically the same degree.

Sounds fair I 'spose.

That was deliberate trolling.

I'm not going to bite. I'm not even going to notice. No siree bob.

This would make sense if I hadn't taken the TNG and 10 of his mates out last night to a Thai restaurant with the instruction that they could all order all that the wanted to eat and drink without limit. The problem I seem to have listened to my own instruction too well, especially the bit about the drink.

Yep, I'm mullered.

They were every respectful and it only cost me about £30 a head. When I took the labourers out a couple of Christmases ago, it was more like £60.

I hope all goes well.  That's pretty scary.  Fingers crossed that she'll be fine in a little while.

Nobody told the new granddaughter that she was due in December, so she arrived last week (25 weeks):



I foresee months of pain and heartache for the new parents.

Many, many congrats grandpops. Best wishes to the family too and the exact same thing happened to one of my friends/clients right in the middle of the COVID madness. It was really difficult for them due to hospital restrictions but everything went really well and the litlun is doing just fine.

firstly Congratulations on becoming a grandfather
grandfather Christ doesn't sound right  -  grandfather time maybe.

Both of my sisters children were born prematurely (each weighed less than a bag of sugar)
The staff at the Hospitals are great. Both are now strapping young adults. Worry will be the worst for you all.
Sure they will be OK
