So angry but also have some Amigurumi love.

I am so annoyed and angry. Last night my eldest daughter Jemma was driving home from work, in St Austell, when a car carreered across Innis downs roundabout and smashed into the drivers side of her car, luckily she was okay. I know accidents happen but the idiot driver jumped out of his car and did a runner, leaving his passengers to face the music so to speak. Thankfully there were two lovely ladies in the car behind Jemma that stopped and looked after her. And also a May Gurney driver who phoned the police, ambulance and fire brigade, the latter because smoke was coming from Jemma's car but it was only the vapours from her airbags. Mr B. quickly drove down to her as soon as we had the phone call. As you can imagine she was in a bit of a state. The police helicopter and dogs were out looking for the man at that time and of course his passengers played dumb, they didn't know who he was!! We have since found out that he comes from a certain part of society that can basically do as they please. Jemma has had her car, her dream car, for 7 months luckily it was fully comp as it looks as if it will be a write off. And now she will have to get a bus to work, which will take an hour to do a 20 minute journey. She went to work today but they bought her home again as she has a bit of shock, I think, and has now gone to hospital because her right arm is slightly swollen and aching. But luckily, very luckily she is not seriously injured because that's all that matters at the end of the day. When will this government see that sometimes bad people need a kick up the backside and stop all this namby pamby crap? Perhaps then we will get kids to have a bit of respect for others instead of this self centered life that many live! In yesterdays paper I read that Ofsted wants to reward naughty children who start to attend school, as per normal what about the good kids. I'm afraid I think Labour is the worst thing that has happened to this country and to the education sysem but I better not get into politics, I'm just ranting!! Enough said hopefully that rant makes sense and hopefully they will catch the beggar!! Now I've got that off my chest I may be able to sleep tonight.

Now onto other things Jodie is doing her Duke of Edingburgh award at the weekend this involves walking 24km and camping overnight. I have baked her some fruit cake, flapjack and chocolate mess to keep hunger pangs at bay.

She will be taking landmark photos on her way and wanted something to take with her to photograph. First she wanted Flower,

I don't think so, then she dared to suggest Lamby

- no way!
So I sat and crocheted a hedgehog amigurumi. It's ages since I've done any ami's and I think they are so cute. It looks like I have to do another tonight as Lily wants the icecream one, which is also in Anna Paulo's book.

Have fun Jodie.

As I sat and crocheted I watched Bobski the builder on Ch4. Did anyone see it? I felt so gutted for the Polish guy, I know people say about the Polish builders undercutting British builders - Mr B. is a builder himself. But does that give people the right to talk to the poor man likes he's a bit of dirt? If I was part of the young couple that employed him I would be too ashamed to walk out of my house today, shocking!!

Now I mustn't leave Tara out, seeing as I've mentioned the rest of the bunch. I could of posted a picture of her doing the ironing that she was going to do! But here's a picture that she painted in acrylics instead of doing the said ironing!!

And finally I received this lovely hen from Miss Phish as part of the Autumn swap at theshabbychiccafe, isn't it sweet?
