Everything In Life is Luck

I should have known that cookie would come back and bite me on the butt.

I got a phone call 8:15pm Tuesday night, as soon as I heard the voice on the other end of the line I had a good idea of what had happened. One of the back tyres on our new car had blown part the way round the roundabout at the Postwick park and ride, Tom had spun 180 degrees gone the wrong way around the roundabout and ploughed into a road sign on the grass verge. Better than another car but still not a great way to end the day.

being that luck or destiny wanted to prove a point that evening it turned out that we werent covered on the breakdown cover as it was classed as an accident so I had to call someone to tow the car home. The first company wouldn't accept cash so this took some time to arrange. He eventually arrived home about 11:00pm. Two seperate police cars had stopped (both over an hour after the accident) and an ambulance had also checked on him (again over an hour after the crash in which time he could have bled to death). Thankfully though he wasn't injured. Just pissed off, frustrated, angry and shocked to find himself again without a car.

Got a mobile mechanic to look at the car on Wednesday morning and he said that all we needed to do was change the back wheel, knock out the dent in the bumper and replace the number plate as we had just about missed breaking the radiator.

So the car is back on the road, we are broke until the end of the month and the car looks a little worse for wear. But hey, everything in life is luck! I will never eat another fortune cookie again!
