The night before my old boy passed it was a beautiful evening - I had made a lovely Caesar salad his favourite but he suggested I took the dog for a quick run at the park and we would eat later - we had a very difficult garage to back out of somehow I knocked the hazard lights on when I was part way out - I had no idea how so couldn’t switch them off so grabbed the manual it was all in Japanese - went back into the house old boy chuckled - he was attached to his oxygen with a long cord so he wandered out to the car shaking his head at the angle the car was on - switched them off wandered back in and sent a text to Robie telling him in a humorous way that he was going to be need to my mechanic banker and home handyman - Robie was on his way home from work so decided to pop in - we all had dinner together and sat around chatting until about 9.30 - old boy tested his oxygen which was good wandered off to bed as he went through the door he turned to Robie and told him that having a laugh with him was better than a gin and tonic - he never woke up .We have often talked about that night
Oh Wow Jan, it was meant to happen that way for sure... A memory you will never forget.
I remember years ago being soo busy gassing to my friend in the car as I backed out of the garage and "Parked" the car on the side of said garage.
MrP was soo angry about it , friends hubby heard him from 3 houses away. He wandered up. Checked we were ok.. We were trying not to laugh while MrP ranted. And the friend told him to shut up. Cars can be fixed, the girls are fine and to stop being an egg. lol.
Sold said car complete with the damage a week later lol
Edit to add. It was soo cold this morning I took a hottie for my lap and Hand in the car. I dont use the heater cos I cant breathe in hot air.
Got so warm the hat and knitted jacket came off.. nearly home and discovered the Fog is still down. First time its been down this long in the last 20 years.
And its still not warm
They told me I couldn't, so I did.!!
