Trip to the beach this morning was interrupted by another car trying to do a u-turn into mine. Thankfully no one was hurt, but my poor little Beastie car is messed up :( letting insurance deal with it, we'll see whatever they decide.

Oh no! Glad you’re ok. Bad time of year for crash repairs, probably lots of places are closed. Hopefully you don’t have to wait too long.

Thankfully Boyo has a car and I can easily get lifts to work if need be. Not the end of the world but would love a quick answer all the same!

Oh no! Hopefully a quick repair for you.

Thank you! Genuinely not sure if insurance will pick write-off or repair, but whatever it is it is. If it's write-off off, I'll pick a cheaper car going forward! If repair, then may Kaelas (named after a character in my favourite book series) and I have many more adventures together! And overall may the person who turned into me not try and blame me and not make the same mistake!
