That is an excellent and very funny piece of writing! I too intensely dislike thoughtless, selfish parking. And you're right, it should be a sin!

Mini rugby. The pandemic saved me from a mini rugby trip to Bognor Regis #grateful. Elizabeth Strout - love her writing. Looking forward to reading this one. Saturday logistics sound stressful. Hope tomorrow is smoother. Thank you for writing which moves me. I look forward to it every Friday.

Isn’t it amazing what the pandemic saved us from and then it all came back…. Saturday logistics are currently being sorted again this evening! So glad you look forward to the writing, thank you Julie! Hope all well.

This made me laugh too as I just threw my boys out at swimming in the road as I have a similar issue with the tiny girls gymnastics parents

I now have a picture in my mind of these tiny girls gymnastics parents!

This made me laugh out loud, glad I'm not the only one who holds their breath when trying to get through what seems like an eye of a needle. Maybe your email will be acted it on :-)

Well I am so glad you laughed as apart from when I'm being serious (occasionally), I do love the idea of people laughing. Apparently the carpark is owned by the council so I may have to escalate my concerns.... !

Good luck for tomorrow's shenanigans Deborah, sounds very hectic! It's good to think about the many ways we humans impact on eachother positively or negatively. You share humour and wisdom every Friday and I am grateful for that:)

Thank you so much for this. You are very kind. Another couple of hours and we'll be into tomorrow's logistics over a glass of wine hopefully!
