Loving Husband & Older Daughter were enjoying some quiet time after breakfast.

That was a little more than an hour ago. The scene has much altered. Loving Husband is waiting with the car, in the sun, for Automobile Association to help with a tire nut which will not budge despite his best efforts. As we were headed out to lunch with my parents, we found a flat tire. So while the patient man continues to wait, the rest of us have filed upstairs to make the requisite changes to our plans.
Life happens.
This post is my contribution to Friendly Friday Photo Challenge: Coffee Conversations hosted by Sandy at TheSandyChronicles & Amanda at SomethingToPonderAbout. Also to One Word Sunday: Restoration hosted by Debbie at TravelWithIntent.
Lead photo features Loving Husband’s brew of the morning: Smokey Earl Grey Tea and Older Daughter’s choice of water. Both cups sit on lace coasters tatted by Crafty Older Daughter.
Thanks for sharing a slice of your day!

Actually, it turned out pretty good – thank you for the well-wishes. The waiting and repair took significantly less time, and we made it to lunch with my parents much earlier than hoped for.

Thank you for taking time with the scene, Yvette!
I didn’t realise tough lug nuts were a thing …. I think this is the first time we’ve encountered one, and I’ve changed several spare tires.

Yes – I don’t think it is super common – but I have been privy to a few of them (guess we drive lots of older cars over the years – and up north there is rust and more weather Elements)
