Yesterday I was in a car crash.
Aside from several hours spent in shock, I think I'm OK, I just have painful joints.
Luckily lots of lovely people helped me and someone drove me home.
My only worry is for Vernon the Swedish Taxi, the Phoenix's car.
Poor Vernon's a write-off ... the darling car has served us well.
Oh dear ... how do I make amends to the Phoenix for writing off his car?
If I hadn't been a good little girl scout and returned my library books on the due date, I wouldn't have been struck by a speeding car that didn't pause at a give-way sign, then sent me spinning across the road.
Thank god there was no one else with me and I didn't hit any oncoming cars.
The police officer said "You're lucky you were driving a Volvo".
No, it wasn't my fault, but it wasn't my car either ... there's the rub.
Looking at these Vivienne Westwood Temptation shoes make me feel a little better.
Alas they don't turn the clock back for the faithful, hard-working Vernon.

I'm so glad you are okay! The car does look badly squished, but if it's only on the side you're showing maybe it's still salvageable? Isn't there still some fine or insurance money the other person has to pay (the one who ran over the give-way sign), and that could be used towards repairing it?
ReplyDeletePS I LOVE YOUR TEXT !!!
ReplyDeleteWHERE'D YOU GET IT?

Poor Vernon! He got maimed protecting his beautiful cargo! Thank goodness you weren't hurt and that the Phoenix chose to own a sensible Scandinavian Volvo rather than a flighty British Mini.
ReplyDeleteThose glasses are immense and I think you need those shoes to get over the trauma. xxx
Crikey, I'm glad you are ok. I am sure the Phoenix is just glad you are safe xx
ReplyDeleteOh, so glad you are ok! shame about the car, but its just a car in the end!
ReplyDeletethank god you haven't been hurt!!!
ReplyDeleteYikes! You are so lucky you weren't badly hurt. Sorry about the car, but at least it can be replaced!
ReplyDeleteI wish I could send you the actual shoes to make you feel even better ;-)

Ouch! Sorry to hear about this, but you ARE lucky you were driving a "taxi." How are you feeling today?
ReplyDeleteI am glad you are ok. Sometimes the aches and pains come out a few days later, so remember lots of anti-inflamatories and a few spritz of lavender water for good measure.
ReplyDeleteI am glad you were driving a Volvo. PS: I LOVE Volvos.

What boring! Glad you're well! Carnival is here and these are their sunglasses go great with beautiful occasion! Hugs
ReplyDeleteI'm sure the Phoenix feels like the rest of us and is just glad you weren't hurt!
ReplyDeleteOh dear! Thank goodness you escaped unscathed -thats the most important thing, I´m sure the Phoenix will be more concerned about you than the car! xx
ReplyDeleteHow do I keep missing these frickin important posts??? There's a glitch in my matrix!
ReplyDeleteOh Desiree, I am SO glad you're ok. Never mind the lovely old Volvo - there are plenty more of them.
The other driver's insurance will have to pay to replace Vernon, right? The other driver had insurance, right??
Oh I am so glad you're ok. I know this is old news for you now... but bear with me while I catch up on the drama!
