Car broken down

9 replies

So, I'm waiting for the breakdown recovery and I'm bored.

The safest place for me to be is behind the barrier, but it's baking hot and sun is blaring. I'm in shorts and a t shirt with no suncream on and I'm incredibly fair and burn very quickly.

Do I burn or do I sit in the car?

No shade anywhere near?

Not helpful, but I always carry spare sunscreen in my car

Hope the recovery comes quickly

Burn. But really if possible drop a light scarf or what ever you’ve got round your body to give some protection

Literally have absolutely nothing in the car with me at all and 0 shade.

That will do. Hope the recovery truck arrives soon

I look like an absolute Muppet - I have my child's Dino oodie draped over me to make shade and a bike helmet on 😂

Have you got an umbrella? Hope you are not waiting long.

No umbrella. I have 2 carseats, a child's bike, a dog cage, a child's oodie, a child's (toddler) bike helmet and some chewing gum!
