On Sunday when Mandi's friend, Sharon, came up to visit me, I suddenly realised that I'd have to move the car so she could get down the drive to be able to turn around and go back out..... sounds complicated but it makes sense if you could see the drive...........

As you can see, although there is still quite a lot of drive to the bottom of the picture [big enough for my car not to be shown here] but if I don't bring the car down far enough - then another car behind it would have difficulty to turn the car round in the space to the left....

To get back to the topic....... I couldn't start the car because the battery's flat and I haven't got round to getting the AA [Automobile Association] to come and get me started. So I thought - okay - off with the hand brake and then push it......

I did this and I'm obviously stronger than I realised, because the damn car moved very quickly and I had to try to get the handbrake on again......

I managed it but of course the car stopped dead but my body was still going forward and I got this for my sins............

Ouch........

I did this on Sunday and it's only this morning that it's starting to show - and it's really sore - so it might be a super-duper one soon, but I thought I'd show you that I'm being a brave soldier here..............
