This afternoon when I picked up Ryan from school we got hit by another car. The traffic in front of us was stopped unexpectedly, I braked, the driver behind us was caught by surprise. She clipped the corner of our fender, ran off the road onto the footpath and crashed - hard - into a pillar. In front of the school. She grazed two schoolkids, friends of Ryan's. One has a scraped-up leg, the other has a fractured foot. The driver - who had her own kid in the car, she'd been picking him up - was in hysterics, but otherwise not badly hurt (thank goodness for seatbelts and airbags).
It could have been much worse (which is still freaking me out, honestly), but it looks like there's no lasting damage to anyone.
I love rye bread. Why don't I try making some? Hmmm.
And YIKES billytea! I'm glad it was no worse that that, since it sounds like it could have resulted in deaths instead.

Very easily. I was fine at the scene, but once I'd got home and was telling Biyi what happened, I was a bit of a mess about it. (It was just that, thinking about how much worse it could've been.)
Oh dear, billytea. That kind of near miss will stay with you. School pickup really is a fraught situation. I'm grateful all will recover.
billytea, glad it wasn't worse.
In re bread - I used to bake a lot and I remember making what was called Swedish rye bread - it had oranges and, I think, raisins and I believe it included molasses. It was yum.
If I make bread again I'll likely use the bread maker for the kneading and hold times, then bake it in the oven. I don't like the size and shape of the bread maker results. I want it in a normal loaf pan, or laid out on a stone. Right now I don't make it because the aroma convinces me that a loaf is clearly a single serving.
Yikes, billytea! Very glad it wasn't worse.
And, in news from Australia, why did the koala cross the road ... or at least try to.
Yikes, billytea! I join the chorus of "glad it wasn't worse."

Hear, hear!
