There is not the usual 10 things post today. Yesterday, whilst driving the family Tarago I had someone do you a u-turn right in front of me. I applied hard on the brakes but just could not stop in time.

Luckily and thankfully, myself, our unborn child, the two children I had in the car and the driver of the other car were all perfectly okay.

Our car though is not okay and had to be towed away. We are now trying to organise a replacement vehicle to get us to Mildura for Christmas. Did you know that this is the peak time for hiring Taragos??

Anyway, although feeling completely fine and the baby is still moving beautifully in utero, the whole thing gave me quite a shock. I am going to take a few days away from the computer, to relax, appreciate how lucky we were and get some more rest.

I will be back on the week end. Hope you are all enjoying the festive season and are keeping safe.

Nicole

Glad to hear you’re all ok. I read the twitter thing on the side yesterday and was wondering.

Also glad to hear you’re taking the time to reflect. Nothing like a little bump to help you realize it’s not a big bump! Treat yourself to a nice glass of… um… gingerale. :-)

Wow, what a bad time of year for that for you. Glad to hear all is ok, and you are not worse off. Hope things go well for the hiring of another car.

I’m sorry about the Tarago, but glad all the Tarago’s cargo is all ok. Hopefully you find something to cart the clan to Mildura. Have a lovely christmas.
