The Acton Free Pros Wednesday January 1970 Second CtnMll By Wendy Thomson thing that I absolutely hate to do and approach with trepidation and trembling knees to wake up with the apologetic announcement that someone a stuck in the needs help I hardly expect him to leap out of bed eagerness personified but I think it a bit too much when his fingers start to twitch over the edge of bedclothes as he looks longingly at my throat It be so bad if the car was really and truly stuck in a snowdrift but it usually seems to happen in an oddball way Last year I was going to drive Lin da do wnt heroad home one foggy night around 1 1 Not being able to see where I was backing to turn around in our drive I trusted to instinct and it did me wrong I cut too sharply there loud crash and there I was I had not only backed into one of our big rockery boulders but also with enough impetus to drive the truck s rear bumper up onto it and was hung up with both wheels clear of tho ground came out look one look and went back to bed without a word not a printable one anyway Last night friend Alice and I went to the show and arrived back here around midnight Alice turned her car around with no trouble but when she stopped to change gear it budge again There it was sitting on a perfectly flat drive with no drifts or ruts and it wouldn move an inch The wheels just spun I got behind and pushed but it was like putting my shoulder to the hind leg of an elephant out of the garbage and had just finished disembowelling it all over the kitchen Then I opened the front door to put the out and Finally I gave up and called Gord must have fell great to get out of a warm bed and into ait that snow the car is a long low sporty job that you just about have to get down on your knees to push particularly when he had to crawl underneath to fasten a tow rope on The car came out after half an hour t speaking to me Of course that may be a good thing That was just the start of a miserable day When the alarm rang at this morning I jumped up vigorously all wide awake to dash out and get breakfast before he had an excuse to roar at me I opened the bedroom door to find that cat had been sick alt up the hall the dog had puddled in the and one of the kittens had fished a dead tea bag Thomascat came in all beat up with one eye bleeding and swollen shut the other penitent I got him and the floors cleaned up and Gord off to work then went down to feed the horses What happened there was the finishing touch As 1 walked up alongside Jim Daisy pony she shifted her weight and let fly with one leg kicking me in the shins I was more surprised than hurt and said Daisy its me thinking that perhaps she thought I was another pony She gave me a look that clearly said 1 KNOW it you dummy and started getting lined up to let me have it with booth hooves As I stumbled in the deep snow trying to get out of range I became furious and let out a bellow that was probably heard in town and hit her with her oat bucket When I came back up to the house sat in the bathtub and fumed for half an hour then crawled back into bed to write this Im trying to decide now whether to hop up and see what the rest of Die day brings or to just stay here out of harm s way for the rest of the day If 1 do the probably fall apart or some such thing Last night I ran out of potatoes and was wondering what to substitute when I come across a recipe for Tomato Pot Pic and tried it It made quite a nice change Tonight as sort of a peace offering 111 make something likes cspeciallya Hamburg Meat Its easy and it
