.... with the flooded river reduced to a blur in the background!
Having a go at 3 good things today but first I'd like to quote from Hamlet: "There's nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so."
1. Between torrential downpours, Jinks and I managed to get a dry walk.
2. My back 'tweaked' as I sat down to my bowl of breakfast porridge but at the pool (after the first 'ouch') I could swim OK and it feels not too bad now.
3. Just off to collect my new car fitted with rear parking sensors.
Just love the centre of focus on this shot, I wish the weather would just blur away, although to be fair today we have had dry and even sunny weather:0) Will we get to see a sneek peek at your new car?
Claire, I'm glad you asked me that as I looked back http://365project.org/quietpurplehaze/just-another/2014-01-17
and found I've had the car one month and one day - seems like ages! Just getting rear sensors put on as I had them on my previous car - and you kind of get used to them!
p.s. no dry and sunny here today - very heavy showers interspersed with not so heavy showers and right now it's bucketing down and just had some thunder.
@quietpurplehaze Oh I had forgotten that you had posted that, how are you liking it? My son has a kia and he like it very much, he got his for the snow but we haven't had any this year! ;0)
I find it feels much larger inside than it is - such comfortable seats and ride. The gears take a little bit of getting used to - in my Micra I could almost (not quite) go round corners in 4th but the Kia needs to be driven in much lower gears at higher speeds.
I was glad to get back from the garage OK after writing that post as I thought I might be tempting fate!! (As long as it was only your car that was damaged.)
@quietpurplehaze Yes , on a big parking place a lorry was placed behind me with a iron rod as a bumper . Was n`t to see in the mirror and hit it hardly. But mine was made of plastic`s
Oh I've just remembered while reading what you said that I HAVE backed into a car!!!!!!!!!!! I reversed out of our drive into a car parked at the neighbour's house. I don't remember the make of car but stronger than mine as there was no damage to his car but quite a bit to mine. I think this is what is called 'selective amnesia' - I'm covered in confusion now! And just going to edit my post..........
Well it WAS dark and I WAS in a hurry to get to my teaching commitment and there are NEVER cars parked where that chap was parked. AND I didn't LOOK - AT ALL!!!
@quietpurplehaze Did you ever have the experience of something coming to your attention again and again over the course of a week or so? That's been the case with me and Hamlet lately. Everywhere I turn, I see or hear a reference from the play. :)
Vega, I feel a bit rusty sometimes!

Why are they good for snow?!
Tell me more!
Pre-365 how could I have imagined that a rusty fence post would be trending!!! Thanks for support!
Ah, thank you, now I understand!
I have to admit you`re a better driver than I. A few months ago I damage my back bumper by driving back. cost € 750

Thank you, I am , I am, Nita - and thank goodness for rear parking sensors!!

Something else we have in common! But I haven't had spooky Hamlet encounters!
