Car parks and cupcakes

In case the title is a little confusing I am attempted some thing I haven't done in months. To drive the car, mainly because I need to be able to drive by the end of the month, but that is a different story. So after many attempts to get up I finally braved the drive to the nearest supermarket.

Actually driving is a lot easier than walking for some reason and we managed it to the car park no problem. But what baffles me is the attitudes of drivers in car parks, for some reason common sense and sheer plain manners get left at the entrance. How there weren't multiple crunches in a half empty car park I will never know. From driving the wrong way round the place, to just plain not looking at what they are doing. It was so bad I seriously think it needs to be part of the driving test.

Once I finally found a bay out of harms way and far away from the sheer lunacy of it all, I began the hop to the store. It got worse! not only was I trying to navigate my way through the auditions for cars on ice or something similar, I was also avoiding kids on scooters amid this madness. Now I am not a parent and I don't pretend to be, but I do have experience with managing these little darlings and the one thing I am adamant about is keeping control on them. Even my god daughter will admit when she was little I was strict on her, but she never ended up in trouble because of it. Now a child of maybe 4 years old isn't going to be aware of the dangers of a car with reverse lights on, that's where a responsible adult is meant to be in control.. How that poor child never got hit I don't know, all I do know is because of her parents lack of control, the out come was one child in tears from pure fright and one scooter nearly embedded in my sticks with me on the deck. Still it was better than one squashed child, and her mother got the sharp end of my mums tongue, and that of the driver.

Anyway, we made it to the shop and did every thing we planned to, and mum the sneaky little rat got something past me. It wasn't till I had managed to drive home and collapse did I find out, I got a reward for my efforts A hand made lemon cupcake, two words nom nom. So yes I managed to drive and whats more I got my favourite cake just for trying.
