LATE FOR WORK

 

I don’t like tardiness and in particular I don’t like being late for work but sometimes it just can’t be helped.

There was one particular morning this last winter when events overtook me, and I was late for work.

Damn it was so cold that morning as it was 7 below the night before, I know that in some country’s 7 below is considered mild but in Surrey it was bloody cold.

It took me an age to defrost the car and then I had to give the wife a jump start.

The poor old thing just would not start, and I had a real problem turning her over, still she’s getting on now I eventually got her going and once you get her firing on all cylinders she goes like the clappers.

So that it why I was late for work it’s a good job my wife’s car started first time otherwise she’d have been late for work too.
