CAR STORY – Part 5

Conclusion
Lo, she is a terrible Goddess woke up in an efficient mood.
“This is ridiculous. Telephone the breakers, tell them to pick up the Volvo, and then take the hire car back. We’re going to buy either the Hyundai, I can use a cushion, or the car at the local dealers. Whoever comes up with the [...]

CAR STORY – Part 4

Desperation.
Search radius increased to forty miles. Hours are spent on the interweave.
We head North towards London to look at several cars at a particular garage. Unbeknownst to us there are 2 large luxurious Volvos on the forecourt. We sit in them. One has very comfortable leather armchairs for seats with an undergusset heating system. Lo, [...]

IT ISN’T NECESSARILY …

… what you look at but the way you look at it that gives you the hump.

Of course the converse or reverse is the way of the spin doctor. Do you think that you know who, what or where you are? Somebody else might not agree.
As a very famous person said “Life is simples innit”. [...]

JUST IN CASE YOU WERE WORRIED.

My fame has spread. I have been hounded by the daddypaparazzi whilst taking a well deserved break in Surfugal.
I managed to get rid of them by letting Vague, that well known magazine for grey bloggers, do an in-depth article about some of my habits.

There is also vital information in the mag about my tome. The [...]

I’m [...]

PART ONE

With a heavy heart he loaded the shopping into the back of the car and slammed the tailgate shut.
He clambered rather awkwardly into the driving seat and just sat there staring out of the grubby windscreen.
He decided the best thing to do was to go to the nearest A&E.
If only he hadn’t wandered down aisle [...]

PART TWO

He started the engine and instead of turning left he turned right and headed for the hospital.
He arrived at A&E and eventually spoke to the triage nurse.
She made copious notes.
He sat patiently waiting to be called in to see a doctor.
Eventually his patience paid off and he became an official patient.
“My, my, my” said the [...]

PART THREE

He decided that a glimpse of the sea might help him settle down a bit so he drove down to the car park on the beach next to the ancient black skyscrapers that years ago were used for drying nets.
He stared out to sea but couldn’t get comfortable so reversed, turned and headed home.
“Just as [...]

PART FOUR

He drove slowly up to the house, got out of the car and opened the tailgate.
He knew there would be questions.
“Where have you been? You’ve been a long time.”
“Oh nowhere …… I went and had a look at the sea. I’ll sort out the shopping and then make us a nice cup of tea”
He clicked [...]

A SHORT STORY – in reverse

Part 5

“Never mind – I was going to crush them anyway to make a base for a cheese cake. Are there a couple of whole ones left to have with our cuppa? – I do enjoy a gingernut about this time of day.”
