Ouch, watch those seatbelts

I had just returned from taking Floyd, James and Cymron to the airport, when we got a phone call from visitors Doreen and Peter. They had been involved in a car accident. Visiting the scene, it was obvious that their car was damaged beyond repair and Doreen needed hospital treatment. Peter was shaken (but not stirred) and we eventually reunited them both at Nîme's, brand new, complete with helicopter pad, Caremeau Hospital. The nursing staff were very thorough and identified 5 fractured ribs which were probably caused by the seat belt. They decided to keep her under observation for a couple of days. Given the state of the car, they were both very lucky.

A big thank you to both Doreen and Peter because without them I would have found little to write about today. (You're sick! - Ed.)
