last Monday morning I sat and sewed and played with colour combinations very happily
this Monday morning I'm going to ring the garage, and get them to come and get the car.
the quite new car that broke down yesterday 140 miles from home.
the children were quite excited by the recovery truck.
but then the wait by the side of the road was quite long, they would have been excited by a wheelbarrow ride.
although not a wheelbarrow the ride home was bumpy and uncomfortable.
but we are home...
and then when I've rung the garage I'm going to try and mend the toilet that overflowed all over the bathroom floor just as we were heading out to school...........
but first I'm going to have another cup of tea
hope you are having a nicer Monday xxxx
Crumbs! Hope the week gets better and that the car isn't too expensive to fix.
ReplyDeleteWow, couldn't get much more exciting than that! Seriously though, you poor thing, I totally sympathise with you and hope you manage to get it done ok - very impressed you're even trying.
ReplyDeleteHow's the quilt coming along?

Oh no - a good day seldom begins with car trouble. You might need cake with that tea.
ReplyDeleteTea, yes. And slug some rum into it.
ReplyDeleteOh no! I hope your day has improved muchly since this morning. I think a good many cups of tea are in order! K x
ReplyDeleteWhy is it that problems all come at once. Just think it has got to get better Tess,I hope your wheels are back on the road soon and the tea worked a treat. xx
ReplyDeleteUgh, car trouble on a Monday is just horrid. I started last week with teh RAC man and while he's very nice, I'd rather not see him for a while yet!
ReplyDeleteHope the day improved.
Oh, drat! That definitely tops my broken washing machine caper of last week. You know I prescribe chocolate to go with that tea...
ReplyDeleteHang in there. xoxoxo
Just catching up - so congratulations on all your cakery and prize winning, I'm also enjoying The Edible Garden and I'm afarid I can't offer you a shred of help in the quilt decision department.
ReplyDeleteBoo hiss to the car/toilet malfunctions - I'd recommend cake, chocolate and rum with the tea. And then a nice lie down.
Hopefully today has been better.
Oh no! I hope the week gets better!
