Broken down car

After a busy day at work David and I were heading home for David's Maths tuition when we passed a car broken down at the side of the dual carriageway. It was in quite a dangerous position just over the brow of the hill, and cars were having to brake and then pull out to pass it. As we went by we saw a girl standing beside it using a phone and David said "I think she was waving at me!" We were both a bit puzzled but went home only to find a text message from Ruth (our fantastic Maths tutor) to say that it was her whose car had broken down! We jumped back into the car and drove up the hill to see if we could help but as we were chatting to her at the roadside, help arrived in the form of her partner who had come to tow the car home. I'm glad she was ok because it was a nasty place to get stuck. The highlight of the evening for me was watching the first episode of the new series of Doctor Who, which I recorded on Saturday night while I was away with the Duke of Edinburgh group. It was tremendous and I was on the edge of my seat - which is a progression from behind the sofa, from where I used to watch Doctor Who in the 1960s!
