Some believe that things happen to you for a reason...................that you are being told to slow down, or get fit, give up spending hours on the internet.....................I think you get the picture.
So I dont know what yesterday was all about but here goes..............I parked up in the petrol station, got out to fill up and thought I'd lock the car (as I needed to get bread and milk from the mini supermarket attatched to the petrol station - Sainsburys for UK readers)..........so I am happily filling up the Freelander with diesel when the darn thing starts to roll forward..................aaaggghhhh..............panicking I dropped the pump on the ground try to open the front door (which I have locked) then I am trying to get to the remote but the keys are in the petrol cap making it very awkward to get to..............meanwhile the car is still slowly rolling toward the pay kiosk and on its little journey blocking the exit path for other cars.............eventually I get it open and pull on the hand brake (our other car has an automatic hand brake ........so being a dumb blonde I forget sometimes). I then returned to filling the diesel tank up.............aghast at the amount of diesel that had slopped down the side of the car.......................got in the car reversed up a bit to allow the exit path to be clear and went into pay. Next I had to stand in the queue for 10 minutes because the person on the till was on the phone to the police because somone else had filled up before me and driven off without paying..................eventually I made it back to the car and drove off...........only to hear this loud grunching noise coming from the underside of the car............it sounded like I had a bike stuck under there..............so I pull up in the middle of the road in front of some traffic lights and get out to inspect..........back, front, sides and nothing showing........so back in the car up to the lights (which change on me just as I am about to cross and I am now nervous that the car is about to disintegrate around me so I stopped past the lights, but had not gone across the road and I cant see the lights so I dont know when its my turn to go).........fortunately there was a car behind me so when he started to move so did I...............but still it sounds like I am dragging half the steel industry around with me.......so I pull up again..............which is when I notice the little green light on the display area blinking madly at me.........................in my haste to pull the hand brake on I had managed to switch a fourwheel drive/steep incline button on................the problem was soon resolved.
So what is life trying to tell me...........................should I get a bike or maybe a horse?
Do you ever had mad episodes like this....................where you thin the U been framed TV crew have got their camera's rolling?
