In a grand statement I can proudly say that I have cheated death a grand total of twice today. Which is a very good or a very bad dayy depending on how you look at it.
Incident one - Im goin to pick Emma up from kindergarten and lolling along, and its been all stormy and really dark then it went like FREAKY dark. I glance over a field and whatdya know theres a frickin twister. Oh excellent, they dont mention that in the tourism books! I mean it was small and there was no damage (physically i mean, mentally, my nerves were shot to shit) and this woman let us hide in her car. But still people! ahhhh
Incident two - went to take the DVDS back to the shop and this walk takes 20 minutes usually, but this time I had slow and slower in tow, it took 2 hours, I kid you not to get there and back, and no, I didnt cheat death by not dying of boredom, or slipping through a rift in the space-time continuum because we were walkng so slowly. Ever heard of Un-manned train level crossings? well in England theres a little warning before the barriers come down, and even then they come down pretty slow, these are fast, and also silent... Were walking under the bastard and boom it comes shooting down on top of us and thankfully hit the buggy (which was empty, im not that callous).
There could be an incident three sooon enough because I had lunch with this American dude from thepool and he said that he would show us German food so he bought what translates roughly into white sausage...it tasted okay (not great), bitlike a cheap saveloy. I was just about to bite into it when he said, enjoy, and dont ask what its made of......I rarely do ask what my food is made of but that made me suspicious so when I got home I looked it up and I think I have just eaten horse meat and pig skin.....excuse me, I need to vomit
