Hello.

Its weekend again. But we don’t have a car so we can’t go anywhere. I had a message at about 5pm on Thursday afternoon from my wife asking me to call her. I had no money on my phone, so I didn’t. I was on my way to the shops to buy something for dinner, and I bought a voucher for my phone as well. She was only supposed to have two classes on Thursday, and be home by about 4:30, so with it being now about 5:30, and she had not yet called me from the home phone, I gave her a call.

She had had a car accident on the way home from university. Was going down a street, bumper to bumper in two lanes on the other side of the road, but her side was clear. All of a sudden, a banged up pick-up appeared right in front of her, going across the road. I suppose the guy was waiting for a gap, didn’t see her, then drove across the road. She hit his vehicle side on, then swerved off the road and hit a lamppost. Both airbags came out. She is alright – has bruising across her chest and upper arm from the seatbelt, a bruised and swollen nose, and a split lip from hitting the airbag.

The pick-up had about 20 guys on the back of it, they all went flying. Lots of broken bones, and the driver and passenger had to be cut out of the car. Our car has been written off by the insurance company. Police and paramedics arrived within minutes on the scene, and the police are filing a charge of reckless endangerment against the other driver.

So.

How’s your week been?
