My friend just rang me up to say that he saw a vehicle accident yesterday which was posted on bookface. A car had reversed into a restaurant.
My friend said that he was waiting at a set of traffic lights, the owner of the vehicle had parked his car by the road and dashed across to the other side of the road. The car then appeared to reverse back. My friend assumed that someone was behind the wheel. The car then reversed in an arc gaining speed as it was on a slope and crashed through the front door of the restaurant . If he had known that no one was in there he would have tried to stop it !
My wife had seen the picture posted and wondered how on earth it had happened .

Oh dear l foresee an interesting conversation with the car owners insurance company. I think perhaps they might wish to know if the handbrake (or lack thereof) played a role in the incident

little hurricane coming our way. ppl are pulling their boast out. last time we had a direct hit is was 30 years ago, the cat 2 hurricane Bob. we were camping & got evacuated. we crossed the canal at the last minute doing all the traffic on the highway. Wifey held a pillow against her window & screamed as we drove north as the storm passed south of us. dumbest thing we ever did was NOT go to a shelter like the schools they set up. this one might hit us Sunday nite. thinking about running out to the beach Saturday for the day. they're talking about big waves. I love big waves

That doesn't sound very mundane to me, even if it's a "little" one. Stay safe.

Old Henri looks to curve right into you, looking at the cone of probability and the spaghetti models. Best of luck, batten down the hatches and secure the decks.

Humid and overcast here chez Casa Reynard.
The bid I placed last night was successful - third time's a charm.
No one else bid, so got it for the reserve. I don't get it, folk go bananas for some items and not others. It seems weirdly inconsistent, no rhyme or reason at all.
I've also had to divide up the fruit for the marmalade into two batches, as my preserve pot isn't big enough.
Had to do the maths to work out how much sugar to put in each batch. I know my preserve pot weighs 2lb 9oz, but my imperial balance scale was maxed out. So had to switch to my metric one and do the conversion.
I also emptied the fluff from the vacuum cleaner.
Anyways, it's almost time for lunch.
