The entry system key for a block of flats I deliver to is on the same fob as the spare van key - I spent a futile few moments stood in front of the building wondering why the entrance to the flats wasn't responding to my pressing the electronic key for the van .... and I've done it more than once (It's about the time in the walk where I get delirious each day).
We wish to serve - but we will not be servile

Driving up a long, bumpy farm track, look in the tray for the mail and you realise you don't even have any mail for them :oops:

I did this four times today, it was a head in the clouds moment each time too, as I was thinking of my long weekend off and what I'll be doing. So maybe "please engage brain" should be going through my head and checking the mail before I get to their paths.. :arrrghhh

This ones a bit weird.

Chewing over a problem on the way round from all angles and then acting out a conversation with the misses including every answer she could come up with. Then at a later date swearing we have discussed it when we have not. :left:

I have tried 2 new ways of amusing myself lately

1. Walk of faith..How far can you walk with your eyes shut ?

2. Dribbling a stone...How far can you kick a pebble/small stone around your loop without having to deviate from your route to take the next kick ?

I blame the sunshine :crazy:
