Ooops!

I missed school today because my car got rear-ended by a huge lorry full of rubbish. I'm fine, but the car isn't. It all happened because a stupid silver van person (a close relative of the dreaded white van man) decided to change lanes right next to me, so I had to brake and the lorry behind me wasn't able to stop quickly enough and hit my poor little car. Of course, the silver van sped off, but I was able to get a partial plate for it.

So, because I'm still slightly shaken and spent the afternoon getting the car to the dealer/workshop to have the damage evaluated, you'll have to wait a little longer for the pictures and stories of my trip down south.

Thanks for the hugs.

It could have been so much worse - I was still moving when the lorry hit me, so the impact wasn't too bad. The dustman driver was genuinely sorry for not getting his lorry to stop quickly enough, but he did his best and more or less gently nudged me (relatively speaking of course - as gently as a a huge lorry full of rubbish can nudge a small car).
