The day from hell
Permalink  

It all started with me (Kathy) throwing up before we left Dubbo at 4am.

After looking out for kangaroos I finally fell asleep. David was driving.

BANG !!!!  somewhere after Gilgandra we hit a kangaroo.

RBT at Narrabri. Sit in car for 2 hrs while David saw a customer in Moree.

Sat in car for another 2 hrs while he saw a customer in Goondiwindi.

Get abused by some angry Victorians for taking too long at the pump .

(Not against Victorians, I am one. Well, was one)

20 minutes from home, get abused by a policeman for leaving our lights on high beam going through roadworks.

Were terribly sorry.  It definitely was not intentional.

Anyway by this time  tired and emotional we finally drove in our driveway.

David unpacks the car . His suitcase falls open and he steps on his glasses.

Just glad we didn't have the van hitched on this time
