....Ive passed on all the well wishes.thanks.
I had to have a chat to a local priest, this man was doing the rounds to bless people and forgive them their sins etc.....This fellow had the appeal of a drill instructor, mum in lots of pain said can we have the shorter version of the prayer for the sick gets a reply "Whose in Charge here"? Hhmmmmm... needs a job change me thinks he lost the compassion and connection that is required in his role as spokes person for the BIG BOSS upstairs....I decided to have a chat with him in the corridor...we can all improve our skills somewhat...maybe I i should of just had a chat to his "EARTHLY" supervisor? Anyways, pale in complexion he thanked me ....and headed for his next member of the flock.

While we were doing that shoot..Mum was on the highway having a BIG accident. She went to John Hunter in an Ambo.

She was admitted and started the VERY LONG ORDEAL of OBS and TESTS. She is very very sore a fractures sternum ( steering wheel) and too many bruises for a woman in her 70s to have..

MUMS car...she was turning right into Brunker road and a car come through the lights towards here and hit her. Mum says her light was green to turn...not sure whoi is at fault at this time. Airbars didnt fire, I presume it was because of a side hit.


mums car

other car...Before we got there apparently this driver was so aggressive towards mum the firemen had to stand between them...."Arsehole of the Year " goes to the 6'5" wanker in the KIA, who can scream at old ladies...

When calmly I told him that that was really poor form...he gave me the speech of the night " Come on Come, I dont care if I go to Jail"

ZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzz !!


Here is Therese doing a great roadside job of making notes for the insurance company..

....of course 4 after we found she was safe...we could fool around, we were not like that to begin with.....
