I mean really.........it was a bloody comedy of errors I swear.
I had been out and decided to take a "short cut" up a road I had never traveled before. I am going to assume in all of Canada, but don't know for a fact, in the countryside we have side roads and concessions. The side roads go west to east and the concessions go north to south. To separate counties they call that concession "so and so" town line road. Are you following???
So being a "clever clogs" I decide to scoot up one of those town line roads, as I knew where I was stopping at next was on the east side of this road. Great plan, until the road went around a corner and I was supposed to "turn off" instead of following the road.
No problem I thought I would just scoot up another concession. Yes the road was paved, but then it turned into a gravel road, which of course had just been recently graveled. Believe me when I say you HAVE to slow down as if you do decide to try and go faster it feels as though you are skating on ice.
I was cringing the whole time as despite going slow I could hear all the stones pinging against the underneath of my car. It was like a dust storm behind me, so all I could think of my black car will now be brown.
Then to add insult to everything I was eating my lunch as I was driving; one of those new lunch wrap's from Tim Hortons (got a coupon for a free one) and I took it out of the packaging and melted cheese sauce went right down the front of me...............
Luckily at my next stop I was able to wipe myself down and look sort of presentable. I am staying in today it's safer!!
I am a British born, living in Canada since May of 1989. My blog is about all aspects of my daily life.
