A Small Adventure
Today I arrived at school 2 hours after I left home.
This was because I stopped to fill up for petrol.
Now you might think that filling up for petrol doesn't take that long, and you'd be right. But what it meant was that I was driving on the freeway a few minutes later than I normally would have been and the ute in the lane next to me blew a tyre.....and I got debris stuck in my car somewhere! So I had to stop on the side of the freeway and Traffic Control pulled up behind me. Both he and the guy in the ute checked under my car but couldn't see anything. I looked too. Nothing. But I was pretty scared being on the side of the road when the speed limit is 110km/h. Trucks move fast.
So I started off again, but the debris was still there. Had to pull into a BP and called my husband and my dad, who both came out to check it out. We went for a drive, and the debris must have gone because the noise in my car was gone. Phew! So they went home and I went to school.
And that was my adventure!

That would have been a bit freaky, especially on your own. Hope your car is totally fine now. :-) How is school this year so far?
