TWICE UNLUCKY

Can't believe my rotten luck. Was on my way to work when I heard a very familiar sound. My first thought was oh no not again.? I stopped the car and checked my tyre and sure enough, I had a puntured tyre. There as a small spanner sticking out of my tyre. I have seen people whose tyre was puntured by screw driver in the past and I thought it was weird and now I had a spanner in my tyre.

Why do people just throw such stuff on the road?

It is less than a month I had a puntured on the same wheel. I was travelling back to my hometown then . That was why I was familiar with the sound when it occurred again this morning. In my earlier incident my son was driving and he would not let me changed the tyre . He was able to changed it rather quickly as he used to work at a tyre shop before. A frightening thing happen when I had the puntured tyre sent to the shop to patch up and while he was filling the air on the tyre and I was talking to him , it explored. Good thing no one was hurt. I learnt from him there was an incident when someone was hurt when a tyre explored.

What is your bizarre tyre experience?

First incident and my son changed the tyre.

Spanner pierced through the tyre.

LEARNING THE ROPES AGAIN

After 6 weeks of anxiety and hard work, we finally completed our course on safety climbing.

Some of the areas covered were:-

*Belaying(which I had earlier gone through at another climbing gym, so this is like a refesher course for me)

*Climbing technique

*Bouldering (not easy but interesting and challenging)

*lead climbing -nice enough but I dont want to get myself killed doing this ha ha

*some useful knots memory refreshed :figure of '8” knot and clove hitch which I had learnt during my children ministry days with the Royal Rangers.

The reason I signed up for this course was to encourge my son and my friend . I am glad they enjoyed themselves doing this together.
