Never a dull moment
A fairly uneventful morning, made up for by the afternoon 
George and Freddy were out on their bicycles this afternoon, when there was a knock at the door. Expecting it to be R from across the road, Barney went to answer it - but it was a woman, with George. It turned out that George’s bicycle and her car had been involved in a collision.
Most important things first: George is fine. He has a very impressively-bruised cheek, from where his face came into contact with the car, and a cut thumb, but otherwise seems well. What actually happened isn’t very clear: George was going down the street and around the corner and the woman was driving up the street and around the corner, and his bike and the side of her car met. He says he managed not to come off his bike, though I’m really not sure how he managed to bash his face as he did in that case. The car door has a deepish scratch, and a dent, I think - I didn’t really look closely at the time, since I was checking George was okay, and thinking about how he might not have been - I’m sure you can imagine.
The driver and I exchanged names and addresses and phone numbers, and she said she’d contact her insurance to get the car repaired.
Later, looking at the bruise coming up on George’s cheek, and vaguely remembering something about it being required to report any accident where there’s an injury, I phoned the police to ask. They said yes, it should be reported, took a few details and then phoned back to say they’d like to come and speak to us. They did that - George told them what happened, as best he could, and the older police officer and I had a chat about birth and how great breastfeeding is, much to the bemusement of the younger one 
They left here a little while ago to go and talk to the driver, saying that it was really impossible to know who was at fault, and unless she said something unexpected (like “I was driving on the wrong side of the road”) they would file a report and that would probably be the end of it, as far as they’re concerned.
I wouldn’t mind a few more dull moments

Yeek!
I’m glad he’s OK, but yes, a dull day would be good.
The sort of knock on the door I used to dread… I’m SO thankful to hear it was no worse. Know what you mean about dull days.
Owww nightmare. Glad he is fairly unscathed.
