Still here … just

No, it wasn’t the floods. They passed largely uneventfully (although residents in a couple of Norfolk villages may disagree on that point).
I refer, rather, to my journey home tonight.
One thing you don’t want to see in your rear view mirror, having joined a line of stationary traffic is a Toyota Rav4, 75 feet and three inches behind but heading towards you at 30mph. Especially if you’re in an itty bitty Copen. I know the distance exactly because the thinking+stopping distance at 30mph is 75 feet and the car screeched to a stop no more than three inches from my bumper, its nose dipping sharply at the sudden braking.
Phew.
