The highway out the front was uncharacteristically quiet today.
Unfortunately two trucks came to grief only a paddock’s distance away from our place!
Both drivers happily survived, although one man was reported to be in a critical condition in hospital.
It took them a fair while to get him out of his truck.
But the highway was completely blocked for over 7 hours today!
So it was actually rather lovely and peaceful at Norwich House today – just glad that (so far) no-one paid with their life for it.
The main damaged truck was full of potatoes that were spread all over the highway! (I saw from media’s photos)
I really don’t think our little highway is built for the volume of traffic it gets and the speed limits it has. There are few options for diversion for the big trucks, a lot of which had to sit on the highway all day waiting for it to be cleared. Other routes aren’t very suitable for high volumes of trucks using them – but today there was little choice.
I woke up with a fair amount of aching body-parts.
I couldn’t leave the property due to the accident (well… I would have had trouble returning) so I lazed about at home.
Found some celery and pulled up a couple of carrots – added them to some other things and slow cooked a beef soup/stew. Was pretty tasty and there is plenty leftover for tomorrow night!
Hope your weeks starts well!
Cheers!
