I love living outside the big towns/cities in Ireland … but sometimes it has it’s disadvantages.
Was Driving the kids home to thier mother this evening, hit a patch of black ice on a bend … and had a disagreement with the car over the direction we should be headed.
Got the front of the car moving in the right direction (left, to be precise) … but the back end just kept on going straight.
Ended up wrapping the thing around the nearby Telegraph pole.
Luckily, no-one’s seriously injured … but now its 4 days before Christmas, and I’ve no car, no real alternatives (no public transport out to the Styx) and a ***** of a pain in the neck, literally and figuratively.
