push...push and push!!

After a few weeks all seamed to be going back to normality and I could enjoy more time with Cassidy. Tas was doing fine, and the risk that I took gave its fruit in the end, resulting that Tas gave all that he could and made giant leaps!

As summer was over, the peak season went away with it and we had more free time!.

I remember those days clearly!! Still driving an old car ....I think it could remember world war II !! hoo God how many times I kicked the tyers as it stooped on the way to work or back home!! Way to many times to remember!!. I hated that car! but to the date I had no option!, I couldn't afford something better with the wage I had before my promotion. I drove Tas a 100 times and most of them we had to push the car down the road so that it would start!!!

One day, on a rainy day, I was driving to work and I guess it was one of those days that you tell to your self ...."I have better stayed home today!!". The roads were packed and jammed with traffic!! poor car ..or poor me ...it stopped just after a 5 minutes drive!!.....Somehow I managed to make it go again !!....

Its stopped a second time only minutes away from work and luckily I got help from a guy working in a garage nearby, God bless him!! As I was more or less 300metre away from the hotel .....the water raised God knows why! and the car stopped again!! this time blocking the road!! and therefore seizing the other cars!!  As much as I tried it didn't want to know!!! I sweared and punched and kicked and cursed  the damn thing !! had water rising up to my knees, and had to push the car up the road, while the other drivers called me names!! and the people that where in the cafes laughed at me, and made fun of me, the only thing missing was a stand  with a sign that said (free rotten vegetable to throw to Hotei!!!). Soaking wet, pushing the car against the flow of water!!! Grrrr!!!
 Somehow I got it parked in a spot and left it there, went to work soaking wet!! had to dry my cloths and uniform under the heating lamps!! wondered for at least one and a half hours in my undies till I could wear my pants again!! sigh......

The next day after towing away my "Car" well I didn't call it a car any more I called it a "cart" from that day onwards ....anyway, went looking for a new car.
Dad was against me buying a new car, he said "The car is fine its you that don't know how to handle it!!" say's the man that had to push the car a million times!!! but of course I was the one that was wrong....anyways....

For at least two weeks had to go to work by bus...and back those days we had buses...hum very .... "charactered" just on the 3rd stage of vintage!! most of them had there 50th birthday celebrated!! and others I'm sure that they where used by solders  in second..... or better in world war I !!!! It was a bumpy ride!! ....Nowadays I miss them especially when I compare them to the "modern" Arriva bus service!!! but that is an other story ......
