A life lived backwards

By GailyWhaley

The man in the car hire car wash got a special hug from me. Saved for those special occasions.

A 4am start. Everything going smoothly. Landed, went to car hire. Queued for an hour. Car not big enough for wheelchair. Got another car. Packed car, first taking photo with phone of large bump in rear. Car wouldn't start. Was it me? Went back to reception. Need to depress clutch fully, Thought I did. Went back. Didn't start. Back to reception. Man came. Couldn't start it. Thank God thought it was me. Unload car, wheechair, cases, bags. Back to reception. Wait in queue. New car. Start new car. Pack new car. Drive 85km to apartment. Unpack wheelchair bags cases. Phone Mam. Where's phone? Remember that car that didn't work? Drive 85km back to airport. Run around car hire car park asking if anyone has seen phone. Hug man. Drive 85km back to aparment. Eat custard tart. Take photo. Sleep.
