Crashed

Has it really already been two weeks since my last post? Crazy, how work and Jens can keep me busy. Jens has been sick at home ever since we returned from Florida. He caught a cold on the place getting back, and that bloody cold just won't go away. So he will do a big check-up this Tuesday and we will see if there is something else, since it is quite unusual to be off with a cold for 2 1/2 weeks. Plus he really feels ill and coughs a lot! He even did not come along with me and the cats to the vet today - where Kitti and Dolly got their yearly shots. But let's go back to yesterday - Crashed - yes - that's what happened yesterday - another car crashed into our little blue C3... I was parked in front of the post office and had opened my door just a little - an old lady was passing with her bike - when I got ready to get out of the car - another car literally opened my door - and dented it. Really crazy. The road with our local post office is very tiny - so the guy that damaged my door was backing into a parking space on the other side of the road - however he used such a bad angle that his front bumper actually got stuck in the driver's door. UGH! Had to wait for the police for like an hour - and they thought it was both our fault - I should not have opened the door when traffic did not allow it - however my door was already open - so the passing traffic should have noticed it... Well I called a lawyer to take my case, because at this point I think they have to put in a new door. It still closed - but it makes a funny noise now - I shall take a picture tomorrow and post this - it doesn't look all that bad - we'll see. We want to see the new Bond movie - but with Jens under the weather this might take a while before we get there. Maybe we will watch it in England - we will visit our friends D&D for a long weekend in December - but we have a tight schedule... We'll see.
