Another dent in the roof!

Boat stuff on pause for a couple of weeks....
not content with some big Larch sized footprints in the roof of the car, I sort of went one better last week, and stuck a Mazda 2 sized dent in the roof instead. Needless to say the car really really is written off now, so been stuck without transport for a bit.

Single track road, car coming the other way with no concept of 'pulling over' so I pulled over, to which they just kept a coming, so I pulled over a bit more then a bit more till there was no more pulling over left to do. (there was acres of space on their side of the road, but perish the thought they might get some grass or actual 'dirt' near their tyres. so the inevitable happened, pulled over as much as I could (up a grass bank) hit a wee tree stump and did a bit of a fosberry flop and landed on top of them (a bit)!

always wondered what is was like to have to climb out of car on its side that you've just rolled, conclusion over rated! As Brian might say 'bessed are the cheesemakers' for I climbed out with not so much as a scratch, no stiffness or bruising the day after either.

Normal boat stuff might resume next week

pushed it back on to its side as t'other car reversed from underneath. Afraid the paint work got a bit scratched
