Good morning from coach B, Platform 5 at Edinburgh Waverly station. A really enjoyable weekend, good food, a bit of exercise and a new pair of walking trousers from Alpkit😎.
Journey might be a bit lively as the carriage has a school group heading for London.

Daughter #3's car. It was pristine until some drink driving chump flew onto her driveway at warp 9 and smacked into it so hard it was thrown around 180°. I'm just thankful she wasn't in it at the time.

Her feller is an extremely large semi pro rugbyist and he went rushing out in his boxers. The guy looked ready to leg it and BF advised that if Johnny Scumbag made him break into a sweat he'd regret it,so said Scumbag did the sensible thing and waited for the police to arrive to beat him up instead.

Hopefully one ray of hope. It was a one owner full BMW history car but she got it cheap as it really needed a new clutch, and that's a £1400 job. The good news is her mechanic is on holiday and was going to do it next week, so she hasn't wasted money on a new clutch yet. The other good news is I can't find a single one for sale anywhere of comparable spec/age/history for remotely close to what she paid so I'm hoping she'll get a decent offer.

She's also claiming for the damage to the garden and for the tree that might have to come down.

Useless but related fact. I joined the police in 1991, and there were still plenty of "pre-PACE" old sweats in the job. If they'd gone to a job like this and discovered the victim was a coppers daughter the suspect would have been given a seriously good hiding for his trouble. Seen a few dished out, but hand on heart never partook.

Thanks Welshie. Shes pithed off, but they're grateful it missed her fellers van as that's their livelihood (he co-owns a building firm for which daughter is a director and office manager.)

Just letting you all know.......there is ambulance on the way to pick me up and take me in to hospital.
I have eaten absolutely nothing for 9 days and my body is shutting down. I can hardly walk to the downstairs bathroom.
I am vomiting but it's just bile as I have no food in me.
I am hoping they can put me on an intravenous drip to feed me.
I will try and keep you in touch.
