What a day! by tinley23

What a day!

It began with a trip to the dentist, something I always have and always will be terrified of, even though our current dentist is lovely.

I survived that, and braving the bus during rush hour, only to get home and find a stranger’s car on our front lawn, with my favourite conifer underneath it.

It turns out the driver lives in the apartments at the bottom of our road and, although very shocked, is completely uninjured.

I think I’ll take a stiff drink up to the bath…
Ooh ! Lesley, how terrible , this shot tells it all from the black cloud above to the demolish fir tree under the car! I hope tomorrow will be a better day

Oh my goodness what a day.
August 14th, 2023  
some days eh!
August 14th, 2023  
Oh no, that is a terrible day!
August 14th, 2023  
Oh wow…..bad steering there! Poor tree! Not a day to be repeated!
August 14th, 2023  
Oh no! Brake failure? Hope tomorrow is a better day!
August 14th, 2023  
A visit to the dentist would have been bad enough!!
August 14th, 2023  
wow how did they end up on your drive Lesley ?
August 14th, 2023  
Oh no!
August 14th, 2023  
Oh my, that’s a day and a half, definitely deserves a stiff drink!

@phil_howcroft They didn’t really know Phil. Apparently they were doing a three point turn when the car “just shot forward”.
August 14th, 2023  
Oh no!
August 14th, 2023  
@tinley23 oh no that's not good , the issue is known as Sudden unintended acceleration.... something similar happened at my son in laws office earlier in the year !
August 14th, 2023  
Wow! A story-telling capture, for sure, but how awful! A stupid question: can the tree be replanted?
August 14th, 2023  
@phil_howcroft Gosh, I didn’t know it was an actual thing!
August 14th, 2023  
@365projectorgheatherb We’re going to have a look tomorrow to see if anything is salvageable
August 14th, 2023  
Oh my goodness - what a day for you!!
August 14th, 2023  
Oh no, what a day. At least the driver only hit the tree and not your house. Glad they were okay though.

Must have hit the accelerator instead of the brake. The same thing happened in our shopping centre a few weeks ago. An old lady pulled into the parking spot in front of the chemist and hit the accelerator instead of the brake and went straight through the window of the chemist.

@tinley23 Fingers crossed! xo
August 14th, 2023  
Oh dear. Good thoughts
August 15th, 2023  
Oh dear… glad they are okay but sorry for your conifer!
August 15th, 2023  
Such a great shot of this not so pleasant story telling image! I hope the driver replaces the tree!
August 15th, 2023  
I hope no-one was hurt and your conifer either survives or gets replaced
August 15th, 2023  
Oh, dear, how on earth did that happen?!
August 15th, 2023  
Oh no, poor tree! I hope the bath enjoyed a drink :)
August 15th, 2023  
@onewing Oh my gosh, hope she was ok. I guess we’re lucky that it was just a shrub and a few new hedge plants - all replaceable if they don’t survive.
August 15th, 2023  
A terrible day, but it will pass.
August 15th, 2023  
Oh, one of THOSE days! Glad no one was hurt and hopefully today is smooth sailing!
August 15th, 2023  
Oh dear, hope you enjoyed your bath and drink!
August 15th, 2023  
Oh my!
August 17th, 2023  
Oh no!
