Damsel in distress
Got up at 7.30 in order to leave home at 9.15 and the garage at 9.30, so that 100 km later I could catch the 11.00 ferry and then get into a kayak and paddle into the greyness of Scandinavian December looking for seals. Everything went smoothly, until it didn’t: some 20 min into the trip the car began to sound funny and shake violently. Well, it’s an old thing and I’m used to some noise and tremor, but this time it was too much even for me. Turned and stopped and called road assistance.Which came eventually, lifted the car on its platform and transported it to the mechanical facility. (One of the rear tyres was totally busted: twisted and almost off the wheel; could end ugly, I’s told.) And taxi came too and transported me home. Event free.
When back at home at 12.30, opened a moderate box of Ferrero Rocher and consumed it with a large cup of warm milk. Will take a glass of red with the evening meal. Also large.
Totally boring.
Haven’t paddled for 3 weeks, was awaiting this day with longing and anticipation, now am stranded on the couch. Sure, there’s always something to wash, clean and tidy up. Goodbye manicure :/

Sorry to hear it ruined your plans.
It's Saturday here and even if I could buy something or other, I wouldn't be able to do anything with it. And everyone, who can, is enjoying their week-end.
Then an hour is a long time when the sunset is scheduled at 15.23 :)
I hope your words will reach the weather gods' ears :)
I forgive you
