Oh what a day…phew I am glad that I survived it! We had a whole load of Christmas deliveries to send out today and guess what? The truck wouldn’t start!
This is when the Italian Gnome came out with lots of gesticulations towards the sky, gesticulations towards anything really…even the goosie got caught in the cross-fire. Goosie sort of looked at the ranting Gnome and edged away into the coconuts (now, that is something for a very aggressive goose who thinks that he is boss of the farm).
There was a lot of muttering about the “starter” and “connections” and then I slowly edged away too. It was all rather emotional, hairy with some heavy breathing. Not something a Munchkin can cope with so off I scurried into the house to look busy!!
It was really “touch and go” for the while! Eventually the car did start and I didn’t ask any questions. We just loaded the packages into the truck quick smart so that we could get a move on.
Poor Gnome…what a strop he got into…the emotions of an Italian can sometimes get so hot and overbearing (a bit like the dry season in the Tropics). Anyway, I finally got Gnome into a better mood with a coffee by the sea:
Thank Goodness for the Duckie Bag!! Phew…saved by the Duckie Bag…all problems solved with a hot drink and plenty of love and encouragement by the sea!
