I suppose it had to happen. I had my first car bump. After 35 years of bump free driving, and no offences or points, I had a bump. Luckily, no one hurt and.....not my fault. I was stopped in the Asda car park. I looked in my mirror. Saw a little polo reversing rapidly towards me, veering over the centre line. I honked. No use. She ran into me.
But, thank God, everything has worked out very easily. Her insurance company contacted me, accepted liability and arranged uplift of my car, and a hire car for me. I am now driving a new Vauxhall Insignia. It's a diesel. Has 6 gears. A nifty handbrake which is a button, and releases when you move away.
Nice as it is, I prefer my Mazda. The Insignia is a bit noisy for me. The diesel is noisy at low gears. It is roomy, like the interior. But I would not buy one.
Still working, and enjoying it, though responsibilities are building up. But I reckon I can get to Christmas.
I had an e mail from Gettysburg about Christmas events. Made me want to be there for them. Maybe next year, but I do believe, God willing, that Kansas in March is now quite feasible.
