A bit of a domestic!

In the midst of a week of worry over family health problems we could have done without the additional stress which landed on Wednesday morning (14th May) .

Regional Council workmen arrived, without advance notice - not that it would have done much good in the circumstances - complete with lorries, including a tar one to patch up the road at the side of our house.

There was some sort of accident with the hose of the tar-sprayer which squirted the wet tar over the workmen (none in their eyes luckily), a parked car (thankfully not one of ours) and our walls, windows and little strip of garden.

The men were very apologetic about the accident and supplied us with their details and urged us to contact our insurers straight away.  We await developments.

To serve me right for being thankful it was not one of our cars that was damaged, a few days later, on Saturday morning, an elderly lady managed to clip the offside rear of our daughter’s car, which was parked, at the same time damaging her own vehicle… so yet another lot of insurance matters to deal with.

We thought this accident was probably caused by her looking at the tar deposits but later we discovered the poor woman was distracted by her head being full of family problems. 

I can empathise.
