Crapcakes. I set the alarm this morning to start work early.
On the radio they said something about snow in my area, so I leapt out of bed and threw the curtains back, and sure enough there was snow!
I got ready for the day, then put the computer on to check my emails but there was no internet connection. After fiddling around for a while I got some websites working but others weren't.
I couldn't check my emails and neither could dad. I had to get out, so I left dad unable to do his work.
Driving to work, there is a narrow gap in the road to slow people down. It's just wider than a car. I was doing the speed limit, 20mph, because I've been through there loads of times. *THUD* I hit the kerb and burst the tyre. I took the bolts off but the wheel wouldn't come off. I called dad but he had gone to a meeting half an hour away. I sat in the snow for an hour waiting for dad to come back by which time a kind man in a tyre van had pulled over and used his tools to get the wheel off and he even put the other one on for me. Free of charge, of course.
Unfortunately, I used up all my phone credit to call dad, so I couldn't call the employer to tell him I would be late.
I eventually got there at 12pm. So much for my promise to do a full day by starting early. At least I'm making good progress.
