Took this pic when I came back from my walk on Tuesday morning. Rain coming....unfortunately not a lot!~

Someone had a bad start to their Saturday morning. Let's just say, I don't think they "Kept Left"!This happened at about 8.30am because our power flickered off and on again. Angus drove past going to work 15 minutes later and no-one was there so we assume the driver just drove away - don't know how! The emergency services arrived not long after - it took several hours to clear the road and erect another 'stobie' pole.~
This is my desk - I spent all Saturday there, catching up for the week ahead. We are off to Victoria on Monday and Tuesday to deliver a couple of cars so I had to get some work done in advance.~
Angus was in charge of dinner on Saturday night...

Like you, I can't imagine how the driver managed to drive away, just wondering what the vehicle looked like after that. Just thinking I could make that Rocky Road, no peanuts, almonds will do, darn it, no marshmallows, better put them on the shopping list for this week, we'll just have to have plain chocolate and almonds instead.
ReplyDeleteWhat marvelous recipes! Thank you! I'm not home now, but will surely try them when I am. As I travel I keep a special list of bookmarks to view when I am back home and this one is one it. :)))

I would almost bet it was atruck of some sort to be able to drive away from that(or those posts aren't real strong)
ReplyDeleteDinner at your place last night looked so yummy and that rocky road....yummmmm. I often make rocky road but I shouldn't :0)

ReplyDeleteDon't you just love having a window by your workspace? I USED to till my hubby decided to move the desk for some reason! One day as I was at the computer I looked up to see a huge deer ambling up the hill!
ReplyDeleteThe recipes both sound wonderful, but what are raspberry jube lollies? V.
