the most awesome thing...
OK i meant to blog about htis a week ago when it happened but I got to work and was swamped and then i had the whole andy interview panic so i didn't get round to it as soon as i had meant to.. but that's a reason not an excuse!!
so anyhow.. i have a car, as you're all aware and when i was a rich student i used to buy pre-mixed washer fluid..i never had a problem with washer jets freezing in the winter, until the car whisperer topped up my washer fluid with water thinking it was a bit too strong and not realising that i was in fact using ready-mix.. anyhow the tightening of finances over the last 12 months has meant that on discovering concentrated washer fluid (and how cheap it is!) i've started to use that.. winter has rolled round and it has come to my attention that the designers at fiat thought their cars would only be sold to the rich folk who could afford pre-mix washer fluid because, not only have they made the washer jets out of metal (renowned for getting VERY cold) but they've also left them completely exposed on the top of the bonnet so that when it freezes over so do they! So I defreezed my car, cleared the windscreen and tried the jets.. big whirring noise... but nothing ack! after a bit i saw something coming out of the end of the jets. looking closer i noticed it was ice! time was ticking and i needed to get myself going otherwise i was going to be incredibly late.. so i set off thinking they'd thaw out soon enough and i'd be ok.. my mistake.. cause of course when it freezes over the good men from the council salt and grit the roads..so my screen was getting a bit on the salty side.. tried my jets but still nothing.. much frantic praying ensued as i carried on to work as traffic was getting heavy and i didn't have tome to stop and try to de-freeze my windscreen wash.. by the same token i couldn't afford not to see!! frantic praying turned to that kind of paniky praying.. you know the kind of please GOD could you just do this for me somehow please please pleeeeeeeease pretty please?????? my logic is the more i chew HIS ear off the quicker HE'll sort it out haha.. anyhow I came round the bend on the A5 to be met by the most whopping big queue of traffic which is highly abnormal and my windscreen was hit with a huge shaft of sunlight.. now a little bit aggrovated i decided to try and reason with GOD "can you not see now why I need you to sort the washer jets out hmm? that sunlight is all over my windscreen and all i can see is salt! not to mention this traffic is moving so slowly i wont have time to stop and sort it out, I'll be late for work!" (was pretty much how it went..then i looked again.. and the penny dropped.. the whopping shaft of sunlight that i'd been so put out by was in fact lying directly in my washer jets and as i sat in the traffic i watched a patch of ice encircling my jets melt away and sure enough within a couple of minutes the windscreen wash was flowing freely.. GOD must have been shaking HIS head as the realisation began to set in.. and i was like oh right doh now i get it . sorry....
It's amazing how something so small and seemingly insignificant can demonstarate the gargantuan heart of GOD for HIS kids.. I was so touched by it i couldn't help telling people at work all day!
