G'day, everyone.
Linda, those cats again!?? Enjoy your quiet day. Might I suggest, to make you feel better, a bit of cymbal clashing every so often near the cats' basket?
Jen, I can't conceive of anything that cold. Even the inside of my freezer is warmer than that. And difficult child plays football in it? Brr...Sharon I, sounds like a busy day coming up. Go easy on yourself.
Sharon II, sounds like a busy day sorting out accounts. I hope you're not feeling too brain-dead by the end of it.
difficult child 3 crashed his bike this afternoon. He sailed right into an oncoming car that (thank goodness) was not going too fast. It will cost to get the lady's car repaired and also to fix difficult child 3's (fairly new) bike. He's only had it a few months, the brakes still aren't even bedded in yet. He picked himself up and walked away from it, said nothing hurts. I think it was adrenalin talking. He'll be sore tomorrow, I reckon.
When the lady came round later to leave her details and to talk to me, I made sure difficult child 3 got a look at the damage on her car. He spontaneously apologised to her, profusely. He also commented that it was good that he always wears his bike helmet.
husband is still talking to our insurance people - sounds like it shouldn't cost us more than $100 for the car. It will depend on whether our no-claim bonus is affected or not. It won't pay for his bike, though. We've got a local hobby bike shop who will help him fix it himself - probably the best 'punishment'.
Have a better Thursday than we had.
