Ouch!

I've haven't been posting as I broke the car & myself. Apparently you can't sue a deer, a tree or a wall for personal injury although the solicitor who phoned me hours after the accident was keen to try to sue the owners of all three! I came round the hairpin outside Brodick towards Corrie, there was a deer in the middle of the road. I hit the breaks, skidded (so much for 4 wheel drive) and bounced off one wall and hit the other thus crumpling both wings of the car and breaking my scaphoid. So i'm in plaster up to the elbow for the next 6 - 8 weeks and the car is off to the mainland. Fingers crossed it's not a write-off! Still got a years finance left to pay on it..... Does anyone know if you get a shiney new car or is it just book price of the one you've wrecked?

Of course according to Sods Law I've broken my left hand so can't write, typing this has taken three weeks and i can't paint or draw. With three months of workshop teaching booked and prime art season just started this is more than a little inconveinient. AND I can't row, sail, drive or hike anywhere on my own. I can't even tie my own shoe laces, I have to ask somone to come round or accost bypassers. I've had to buy a load of ready meals as can't chop, open cans, even buttering toast is messy so i'm going to turn into a fat blimp with bad skin, the food tastes awful and can't have anything that needs cut up unless a kindly soul is passing who is willing to cut my dinner up for me!

So far I've just got taxis everywhere but as I get skinter I'm going to have to get public transport which means rubbing shoulders with poor people! I'll end up with rickets... Worst of all I can't open a bottle of wine or champagne!

Still... musn't grumble.... snivel

I thought you were very quiet! wishing you a speedy recovery. library books-on-tape? I have friend who lost his arm from the elbow and down. you'd never know. he can do most things inc operate his own machinery business. sorry not a 'speedy' recovery! thats what caused it all! a safe and gentle recovery.

Aw, poor wee sunny. Keep receipts for the taxis, send them to the insurance co. Fraid its only value you get back, not a nice new one. You might be able to get the insurance to pay for a carer, now theres a thought. I would say take care, but its either too late or not necessary as you cant get up to anything exciting anyway. Ps, if you have a vice then opening screw tops is no problemo

Uncross them fingers right now! A write-off might be better than a mend-and-mak-do. At least, according to my pu's (oh dear looks like pus, most unfortunate) who once had a new and still being paid for Sunny (true!) which a slightly distracted molasses tanker-driver ran into the back of: it wasn't a write-off and was never quite the same again after being mended, though it went on to do 125,000 miles and only went to the big scrapheap in the sky after its bottom rusted out. Still, probably better a rusty bottom than a broke scaphoid. Purrrrrrmrrrrrrrp. (cat sympathy).

Oh no, poor you! Tell you what, I'll send you some of my famous quiche, just right for convalescents. Just hit it hard with a hammer, and BoB's your uncle... or not... Get well soon!

BoB from Lewis


Hi, me again - just to let you know that I've had a quick word with our Jeremy and he's on his way as we speak to take care of your every need. He says he doesn't think you'll manage the remote control so he's bringing a copy of his complete works to read to you of an evening. You realise some women would kill for this? And not themselves either!

BoB from Lewis


Could have been a lot worse I suppose, but ouch:-( Hope you recover quickly.

Mo from Glasgow


That wid be the difference between you guys in the West & wis up North. You crash into deer, our local road-terrorists are sheep. Sorry to hear about your accident, Get Well Soon! Oh yeh, what's a scaphoid?

Ruthodanort from Unst


A few days ago I posted a comment here that didn't appear, and noo it looks like we don't care aboot you!! We bloggers in da Nort are v sorry you had an accident, & hope you get better soon!! (Also hope IBHQ gets Better soon too.)

Ruthodanort from Unst


Maybe we should start a "cheer up Sunny" campaign - calumanabel to be in charge of organising the event. And the rest of us will take turns at taking you to the toilet, getting you dressed, putting you to bed, cooking healthy nourishing soups etc, feeding you said soup, etc, oh yes and driving you wherever and whenever the mood takes you. what would we call our cause? the Sunny campaign... Sunny side up?... watch out Sunny's about.... any better suggestions!!??

Hi Sunny. Strange things are going on with the blog - for some reason my comment didn't get posted and there hasn't been any reply from Auntie to explain what the problem is. Thankfully I see some postings have now gone up. You must have thought people didnt care - not true. I'm sure everyone who reads the blog will be sorry to hear of your accident and understand how scary deer can be when they appear from no where. Here in North Mull the numbers of deer seem to be higher than I can ever remember and they seem likly to increase. A large area of new woodland is being planted between Calgary and Torloisk , the new fence has forcing the deer to move to other ground. This would not have been a particular problem when more people were involved in " freelance freezer filling" but times have changed. I have seen way more deer this year between Dervaig and Tobermory but that's not a quick road otherwise I would imagine we would have seen accidents like yours. Sunny, sorry again to hear of your prang and I hope things work out.

My original 'welcome back Sunny.. we've missed you.. ooh I bet that smarts a bit.. get well soon.. and can you research the Arran taxi drivers' dress codes for Calum..etc.' message hasn't appeared on the blog. Seemingly this care & concern comment hit the 成人快手 barriers then Graham's colleagues put the skids on it and it didn't complete its journey to the site. I can't remember exactly what was in it so I'm having to rely on a new for old replacement policy. Sorry it's not very shiny. All the best for a quick recovery.

Annie B from the usual


Thanks everybody! Think IBHQ might have gone part time with the delays! I definitely don't need a carer! I have a willing band of helpers and mostly get picked up within five minutes of starting to hitch as long as i stick 2 the coast road. Have worked out how 2 do most things 1 handed but still struggle with cork screws. Jeremy must've missed the ferry!
