So glad she is okay.And Daughter phoned up in a flap because she clipped a kerb coming off a roundabout and managed to get two flat tyres and a damaged alloy wheel
She’s never had to deal with something like this before
She now has a recovery truck on the way and an insurance claim in. That’s the insurance premium hiked next year then At least she is OK
YayyyyWe ended up with 20 minutes or so of a heavy rain in the middle of the night! Yay!!!
Oh dear.Definitely a learning experience. Her insurance excess is £250 so at least that's all it will cost for the car to be picked up and repaired... and she gets a courtesy car too which is handy. Hopefully, it is just tyres and a new wheel and the car won't be off the road too long.
Although there will be the small matter of the increase in her insurance premium next year. I shall have to break that to her later.
It took me about 6 months to finally realize exactly where the wheels on my truck are. Until then I was always hopping the curb with the back tire on a right turn.And Daughter phoned up in a flap because she clipped a kerb coming off a roundabout and managed to get two flat tyres and a damaged alloy wheel

I often drove a car with a horse trailer following with my two horses. I`ve never done curb hopping, I am honest. Otherwise my poor horses had to hopp in the trailer too !There are times I’ll loan my car to my gf’s daughter and her husband. Whenever I hand the keys to them I clearly state, “No curb hopping!” They laugh as if that never happens.

Hmm, I do that sometimes. You misjudge the distance and bam before you know it you have hit the curb. Thank goodness I haven't caused any damage as yet.It took me about 6 months to finally realize exactly where the wheels on my truck are.

What!!! Perish the thought.There are times I’ll loan my car to my gf’s daughter and her husband. Whenever I hand the keys to them I clearly state, “No curb hopping!” They laugh as if that never happens.
That definitly is one way to do it.I often drove a car with a horse trailer following with my two horses. I`ve never done curb hopping, I am honest. Otherwise my poor horses had to hopp in the trailer too !
You learn quick how long your car and trailer is when you transport living animals. I drove my horses as when they were raw eggs.
Looks like you are going to need some more rain barrels.Evening all
We just had a massive thunder, lightning and RAIN storm blow in. It was stinking hot all dat..into the 90’s, i thought we might get a shower, but WOW. Probably an inch or two in a very short timeframe. I’m sure my rainbsrrel is back to full and overflowing.
Too Late, I see the tip toeing.....(tip toes in...lurks a while...tip toes quietly out... )
Wow. That looks really awesome. But please explain it to me. What is it for and why?Homecoming is tomorrow, formal dance Saturday... I finished the mum tonight.. I was rather pleased with my efforts & Minime was ecstatic.. think it’s ok? I’m not known to be crafty at all, but I wanted to do this for her.
