New paintings and regular art updates.
I went out in the car tonight and the drivers rear passenger side door won’t open from the outside. I usually put my walking stick and bag on the back seat. I think I might have caught the button that locks all the doors? I don’t know though because the door at the back nearside still opens. Maybe it needs oiling? Or maybe if I leave the window down and try leaning in from the outside I could get it open? I will try and ring a friend for advice.
On Tuesday night I got trapped in my car. I booked it in a garage to try and get it fixed. The mechanic came and took the car this morning but came back in less than an hour. They said the lock and window are now working. They think the window lock button might have got knocked accidentally? Also the door opens now? I hope it’s just reset itself, but it makes me nervous, I might have to try and visit friends and make sure they are in if I visit. I will also have my phone at the front of the car so I can get to it straight away. If I decide to drive myself to the shops I might need someone to let me out!
Came home from choir, went to get a takeaway and my electric window wouldn’t work. So had to open the door to collect the food. Then drove home, but when I tried to open my door it wouldn’t open. I tried hitting it and the lock stuck. By then I was panicking. I started honking the horn and flashing the car lights but no one was around. My phone was on the back seat and I couldn’t reach it. I tried to squeeze my foot up and over the central gear lever and brake, to get into the passenger seat, but couldn’t move my leg so I managed to pull the lever under the seat and tip the seat back to give me more space. I shuffled across hoping I wouldn’t knock the car out of gear or loosen the handbrake. I finally shimmied across. Luckily the passenger door opened. I WAS FREE! I’m shaking and need a decent garage to tow it away to fix it. Meanwhile I daren’t drive it because I don’t know if I’ll get stuck again. 😢
The car door was caught by the wind.. And slammed into my leg! Luckily I was wearing trousers, not a skirt, but then I felt a wet trickle running down the outside of my leg. The door had cut through my skin despite not cutting the trouser cloth. I got inside and cleaned up the wound as well as I could. Hubby bathed it and was going to put a plaster on it but the wound, though shallow, was about the size of a twenty pence piece. Luckily I found something clean to use as a dressing. I put pressure on the wound to stop the bleeding. I’ve got the dressing held in place with plasters, so hopefully I won’t need to go to the doctors on Monday. I’m not going to A&E on a Saturday.
Ow! I was getting some paintings out of the car boot today and I pulled the door down and hit my nose. It really hurt so I rubbed it as you do and everything seemed OK. I hadn’t hit the bridge of my nose. So nothing broken. I went into Spode and priced up my work. Hubby didn’t tell me I had a cut on my nose. I spoke to several people, no mention! Either I looked so rough that they didn’t want to say anything, or it didn’t look that bad, or they were just very polite. Anyway, I only noticed it because it’s started to hurt and it felt rough under my finger, so yes, ouch!
