I’m a bit pushed for time as I’m preparing to head off with my tent for a few days, so I’ve re-written a story I posted in 2015. I’ll do my best to read everyone’s stories if I manage to find wifi somewhere!

If only I’d had two minutes more I would have caught that bus. I would have made it to the shop before it closed. I’d have bought some delicious wine, a microwave meal and some yummy chocolate then caught the bus home again. Right now I’d be sitting with my feet up watching my favourite programme.
As it is, I’m drinking tepid skimmed milk and eating a tasteless plate of food while watching the eight-o-clock news about someone running down a road, tripping on a kerb, getting run over by a bus and ending up in hospital.
Nurse, a bedpan, please!
Thanks to Rochelle for hosting and to Dale for the photo.
Poke Froggie very gently to join in the fun!
Sounds blissful
It always is! Cheers, Neil.
Have fun!
That’s the plan, thanks, Beth.
I recommend Argyllshire, and no bed pans please
I’ll remember that for next time! The farthest north I’ve camped is beside Loch Lomond! This time I’m going to bake down here in the far South!
I’m sure that is not how he pictured ending up on the evening news. Have fun camping.
I imagine not! Thanks, Denise.
Oh my goodness, talk about a bad day! I hope you have a great break, camping, Keith–don’t worry about us, we’ll be waiting eagerly for your return 🙂
it wasn’t the best. Thank you so much for your kind words Staarlz.
Sorry to hear that, Keith–and you’re always welcome to kindness.
You’re most welcome–I’m always here for my poet friends, or I try to be…it gives life purpose. By the way, I totally detest camping!
We have found something we differ on it seems!!!
Dear Keith,
I love the way you told the story of what happened. I guess hospital food isn’t any better on your side of the pond than it is here. 😉 Well done.
Shalom,
Rochelle
Thanks so much, Rochelle. Our hospital food is pretty poor!
Hope it’s a fun adventure! Love this story 😛
It always is! Thanks, Sadje.
You’re welcome my friend
Being inside or outside the bus made a huge difference.
Very true Reena!
I think you got the better end of the deal. Happy trails and safe travels.
You recon?!!!Thanks so much, Andrea.
Have a safe journey Keith. Love the story.
Thanks so much, Suzette.
You are most welcome
With Doctor Leapy and Nurse Croaky, the poor patient will be well in no time. Great story, Keith, and have fun camping.
No doubt about it! Thanks so much
It’s a bad day. Good one Keith
It certainly didn’t go as planned! Thanks, Vartika.
Hi Keith – have fun … you are going to bake … just enjoy … cheers Hilary
I think I will! I booked it ages ago when there was no telling what weather I’d experience! Fortunately, I only have a shortish drive to Salisbury.
Well, THAT would certainly be an “out of body” kind of moment!
Unexpectedly seeing yourself on television could be strange, especially if you have no recollection of what happened!
This is funny……….. sorry Keith if it actually happened!
It didn’t happen – I just hope it’s not a premonition!
Me too!!!
Enjoy your camping vacation.
Thanks so much, Patricia – on my way in a few minutes!
Timing is everything!
Indeed it is Danny!
Life is about timing.
Speaking of which, have a wonderful time away!
It is indeed, talking of which I’m about to head off!
IT was new to me, so there is that 🙂
And have a great trip!
Thanks, Dale, and thank you for the picture too.
Pleasure is all mine
So much fun to read this story. I’m glad he lived to tell the tale. Have fun out in nature, Keith!
Me too! Thanks so much, Lisa.
You’re welcome.
Oooh… what a way to make the news.
Happy camping.
Not the best!
Agreed
Ah, for the need a two measly minutes the whole universe changes. Life can be so unfair. It’s al new to me. Well done then as now, Keith.
Life has a strange sense of humour! Cheers Bill.
And life gets the las laugh. 🙂
Sadly the food won’t be much better for a while.
…unless someone sneaks a take-out in!
Very true.
Awww… There just are days like that. I hope they didn’t get a picture of you sprawled out on the road, slightly flattened, and publish it for all your friends to chuckle over.
Fortunately not – at least, I don’t think so!
excellent twist in the end. totally unexpected. happy camping to you too. 🙂
Thanks so much plaridel, I’m back now and had a great few days!
Ha – I knew you would be famous and make the news! 🙂
Not necessarily for the reason I’d have preferred!
That’s a clever angle for your story. And have fun on holiday. It’s really hot over there, so slip slop slap, as we say here. Take care.
Thanks so much. It was just a few days, and I’m back now. It was bit on the hot side, but not as hot as predicted for today and tomorrow!!
