James has had no luck lately. He was on the way to work this morning and got shunted by another car. He stopped for queuing traffic, but the man driving the car behind bent down to get something out of the footwell, didn't see the cars stop and went into the back of our car, forcing it forward into the one in front. Thankfully it wasn't at speed, but still, it was fast enough that our car is having to go get its bumper and boot door replaced -- and maybe more as it hasn't been fully checked yet, and James' work sent him home and then, when I was with him, to A&E. Stupid thing was he had to phone his own workplace for an assessment, ended up with a trainee and went through his own treatment path with her.

So we ended up at the hospital, and he was checked over. He's jarred his already damaged back and is stiffening up like crazy, but as he already takes a boatload of powerful painkillers there was nothing they could really do, so it's a case of resting for 48 hours and then gentle movement. And in that time arranging a hire car and getting poor Jaffa fixed.

It's my second shoulder class tomorrow. Will I actually finish all the exercises this time? I can only hope.

It was my nephews birthday yesterday, Kayleigh's the day before and my other nephew's the day before that. This month is expensive. Poor Kay didn't have a good birthday. Firsts are always bad, and then she got sick so we had to postpone our planned birthday dinner. But, we'll get together soon I'm sure.

I upgraded and have a new phone, it's all shiny and has an amazing camera. I love it lots, especially so as all my data transferred easily so I still have all my text/messenger conversations with mam saved.

It was a year since nanna died a few days ago. In terms of losing people I love goes, this last year has sucked.

I enjoyed BSB on Strictly but didn't understand why they didn't have dancers performing with them like all the other musical guests do. All I can think is the dance professionals were intimidated by the amazing hand raises, swaying in sync and BSB leaning. Side note, Kevin remains the most attractive. Just saying.

ETA: I was just answering a comment on my last post and saw I hadn't been notified about a load of others. I don't know if it's a DW or mailbird thing, or if it's happened elsewhere. If so, sorry, I'll answer eventually I hope.

OOF. I'm glad to hear all James needs is a little rest; that could've gone down so much worse than it did!

As for Kevin -- yes. He's a sexy, stoic vampire man and I continue to heart him. Muchly. :)

Poor James! I hope he's starting to feel a bit better by now. And that getting the hire car wasn't too much of a hassle. (But seriously, who bends down to get something while they're driving?!! I hope he gets a hefty fine!)

Congratulations to your new snazzy phone!

Kevin is totally the most attractive ever!!

Boo on the car accident (thank the gods the other person wasn't speeding!). I hope that James recovers soon. <3
