Friday night after work I faced a 5 lane car park instead of a free flowing freeway to get home.

A car accident somewhere along the way, and half of Melbourne’s northerly traffic stream came to a screaming holt and backed up into the suburbs quickly. Amidst all the cars were many people trying to escape the city for their country destination for the next 3 days. Me, I just wanted to get home from yet another hard day at work.

After some thought ….I made my way to the closest exit I could find and snaked my way home via the back roads. The usual half hour trip home took me over an hour….I tempered any frustration with another thought to drop into the local shopping centre to pick up some takeaway for dinner and a tub of salted caramel ice cream to soothe my upset nerves. Job done …home fed and happy!
