Put the verbs in brackets into the past simple or past continuous

Dear Jane,
I wasn (be) really pleased to receive your postcard. It sounds like you (have) a great time in Spain. Anyway, you will never believe what (happen) to me last weekend.
I (go) to Anne's party when it (start) to rain. As I (wait) at the bus stop a car (drive) past me at full speed. Before I (know) it , I was soaking wet. I (feel) miserable - the people at the bus stop (laugh) and I (look) a mess. It was very embarrassing. Why do these things always happen to me?
That's all for now. Write back soon.
Love,
Mary
