We had taken a taxi to the ‘Rent-a-Bomb’ place so that I could drive the car/bomb back to my place where Anthony could get into his commodore and drive back to the farm, knowing he had made this magnificent gesture and I would be able to drive a car, not a scooter, to work for a few days.
Halfway back to my place, the little rentabomb spluttered and died.
Now I do cry quite easily, and sometimes unexpectedly. My eyes seem to have a leaking tap condition, a bit like the taps in our kitchen, laundry and everywhere else at the moment, but that’s beside the point because I didn’t always cry so easily.
But when that stupid, rotten bomb of a car broke down, I let it roll to the side of the road and I broke down too, quite dramatically.
Anthony had never seen me cry like that – never! And it was in that moment, at the side of a strange road, in a crap car, that he finally realized the error of his ways and declared his love.
Then we got the towtruck.

Ahwwwwww………
Aint Love Grand !
mmmmm!
men are so thick sometimes – but adorable when they finally realize the ERROR of their ways
Thick but adorable – yes!
🙂
His timing is always interesting 😉
Very!
I love coming here. You always make me smile and feel connected. Thanks!
Ha! Glad my past grief is of some value – it makes me smile too – a lot!
What a great story! Declared his love…nice but….I’m thinking a BMW would have fixed all that up. 😉
We have a BMW now (it’s 25 years old!)
A classic!
Sorry but I’m smiling, typical behavior of a woman is it not??
Come over here and say that and I’ll punch you!
Thought I might get that reaction…. just a simple test to ensure you’re not a robot…and hopefully to raise a smile…
Big laugh!!!
The realization moment!! Amazing what it takes sometimes 🙂 xo
The strange thing is that Ants has never forgotten this incident – this moment of reckoning!
At least he actually realized it – finally!
he bombed on the car, love, but scored big time with you…and vice versa!
I was sobbing ‘you bastard’ and he was sobbing ‘Jules!’ It was a rather unforgettable moment!
awwww, and it makes for an unforgettable story!
this was so romantic…………..
mmmm
Love …. have to start somewhere and maybe the “bomb” car … was yours *smile – love your love stories.
OK, now I see why they called it rent a bomb. Because the cars did bomb as soon as you drove them off the lot. Wow.
Yes – grrr!
Not the reaction he was expecting for his “magnificent gesture”, haha
It wasn’t particularly funny at the time – ha!
