An un- perfect end to an un- perfect week!

So, when you have had a tough week in the board room working all the hours God sends with incompetent project managers excelling in their display of incompetence, when your dev. guys lose sight of the phrase 'keep it simple stupid' and when all you really want to do is get home on a Friday night, what is the very best thing that can happen next?

Well the one thing it's not is to have some dozy fool t-bone your car at speed on the dark, wet journey to home to weekend escape!

Welcome to Fletch's world this last week!

Thankfully it was only vehicles that suffered damage, no bones broken or any of that, in part I suspect because himself managed, in the momentary window of opportunity, presented, to still have enough wit after his long week to react quickly and take some evasive action, thereby warding off a much more serious level of impact.

No harm done, save for a the other driver being very shaken and requiring some considerable 'calming talk' and cigarettes, all supplied in the rain and dark on the side of the road by Fletch who didn't have the heart to be angry with him given his obvious state of distress.

There will of course be some pretty hefty repair bills but it could be worse, it's a company car so we don't have to take care of that, it's just aggravation we could do without but that's life and what matters is no one was injured.

....and when he finally arrived home looking a bit dishevelled and the worse for wear, he was carrying not one but five glorious stems of orchids which are now doing their beautiful thing in a vase, having also survived the impact! :o)

Oh my goodness! Thank goodness nobuddy was hurt. That kind of accident can be very bad.

The flowers sure are beautiful!

lovely flowers, hope Fletch is ok now... though accidents can be shocking at least no-one was injured.

Cor! The man was involved in a car accident that could have been disastrous and to whom do his thoughts later turn? You, my friend. I'd say this Fletch bloke's a keeper!
