cars & bikes

This is the only card I have made
since my wee production the other day.
Our neighbour passed her driving test.

I am entering it on the
House Mouse Monday Challenge
who are looking for a tall card.

We have still got a wee drop of snow.
Mostly, the problem is ice now.
It was -7 when I went to work this morning.
And -9'c when Andrew cycled home after his night shift.

Aye , you did read that right....he cycled home.
Not usually a problem.
We live near the RAF base he works on,
and it is quicker for him to cycle than drive.
For the first time ever...almost 20 years.....
he hit ice & came right off his bike!

He hss badly bruised his hip and leg.
A trip to the local surgery this afternoon
ended with some lovely pain killers from the GP.
My lovely therapist friend is coming to the house
tomorrow to give him a treatment.

My trip home from work started with my car
sliding on ice trying to get out of my parking space!
No damage done, but a bit scary!

I do like snow, but am not so keen on ice!

Stay safe & warm.
