Part 1
Today it was a lovely cold frosty morning, which is not necessarily welcome on a work day. It means defrosting the car and getting rid of the ice off the windows. Normally that is bad enough, but today my driver's door was frozen shut! I tugged the door and it just clicked onto the latch but remained firmly closed.
*sighs* I had to clamber in from the passenger side to get the engine started and the heaters running etc. and then clamber out again to clear the windows from outside. I cleared the windows for driving, but no matter how much I pulled from the outside or pushed from the inside the door remained half open...
I decided to proceed on the way to work carefully, when I heard the traffic through the door I knew I had to pull over and the door would close!
Then there was the inicident of me trying to get back onto the road and into the traffic. Someone left me a gap and when I started to pull out they aimed for my car!!!
Eventually I got safely to work.
Part 2
Some of you know that my Dad had to be taken in to hospital (a couple of weeks ago) due to a complication over a recently diagnosed problem. It lead to a chain of events which saw him having an endoscopy (amongst other things) whilst he was there and a soon to be followed up colonoscopy when he was released. I found out earlier this week this is scheduled for Monday.
Today in the course of conversation with the people I sit close too at work, I found out that one colleague's Mum has to go in for endoscopy & colonoscopy on Friday! & another colleague's Dad has to go in for a colonoscopy on Friday and she herself has to go in for a endoscopy later in the month.

Strange co-incidence...

I still refuse to put the heaters on, though I might put the convection heater on- my feet are like blocks of ice.
"frozen shut"
Your car would have been even colder if the door had frozen open! :-)
Hope your dad gets diagnosis, treatment very soon as a prelude to recovery.
This morning Jon went to work in the 4x4. He suggested I drive him but I was really reluctant. I have had years of panic in the BMW. Hubby enjoys the snow but I panic when I have to drive. The road is being re-surfaced too...anyway in the end he went! It looks wonderful outside but trecherous. I must get out with the camera.
Hope your dad is okay. Yes, a VERY strange coincidence eh?
I'll mail.
Crushed - At least the promised snow didn't arrive today!
Calum - LOL luckily I remember to shut my car doors when I get out ;-)
& thanks for you thoughts about my Dad, I will let you know how he gets on with this one.
D - I am not too keen on driving in snow, but I got better over the years. Yes snow=camera=photographs. It just has to be done!
Thanks for your thoughts about my Dad, I thought it was a really unusual co-incidence.
James - Thank You for your thoughts xx
Best wishes for your father. Small world, eh?
Damon - Thank You & yes it is a very small world!
