137/365 A car crash of a day, quite literally by Big Kev
With the end of the working week (for most) upon us I had a hectic schedule to fit in, so a run before work was always going to be the right choice. Following the subsequent events of the day it turned out to be a very good choice indeed.
The run itself is along side one of the main commuter routes into Bristol and as a consequence the traffic noise is quite loud. I therefore run with some music on to really just drown out the traffic. The sun was out the music was fast paced and the day ahead looked like being a good one. The working day was indeed a good one, very productive and one that allowed for a bit of forward planning as well.
The productive run of events soon stopped though, right at the point when I received a call from Tina to say she had been in a car accident! Through no fault of her own, another driver had decided to crash into the back of her car whilst she was stationary in a queue of traffic! There weren't any physical injures thankfully and all the bits of plastic and metal that are meant to bend and break did their jobs. However, the violation of someone else destroying your belongings does mean that emotions are high. Tina is one of the calmest people I have every known, so to see her so irate is unusual. Fortunately a few phone calls later and after some cajoling of the bent car parts, meant that Tina's car could at least be driven and we were even able to organise the inevitable repair quotes for Saturday Morning.
How quickly events can change in a matter of moments!
