    Walking home earlier and a woman walked straight into my wife.  Said woman had hood up, head down and was texting at the time.  She didn't even see my wife.  I did suggest that she might care to look where she was going in future, at least that was the gist of what I said.  Just met with a blank stare.

    I hate queuing.
    One thing I don't get, is people who queue to get into a restaurant! Why would you do that?
    The only reason to go to the busiest restaraunt is usually because it's the best but only if it' s the locals going there. Works well on holiday when you don't know the area.

    We were in Whitby recently and my wife accidentally brushed against a man on a crowded pavement. “You want to look where you’re going” he said gruffly and in an obvious Yorkshire accent (friendly northerners, eh?) but he completely failed to spot the white stick my wife uses.

    I hope she poked him with and said , " I'd love to be able to LOOK where I was going"

    The mess in the garden just doesn't seem to go away. No matter how much I tidy up it just seems to move the mess to a new place. I need the garden equivalent of a rug to sweep it all under.
    If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.

    Is your mess  plant or inorganic?
    I bought a big coffin storage thing to put my clutter in. It holds my empty flower pot collection cushions, rarely used tools etc etc Unfortunately, the top is a great place to park potted plants etc so it's usually too much of a faff to take them all of to open the lid.

    Strange that,  B3, I've got exactly the same storage solution/problem. I must do something about it soon.
    I'm not sure whether to be relieved or sorry at the moment. Son and family were coming today to stay but he got the date of the rugby match wrong so they're coming  tomorrow instead. Daughter was also coming today but has rung to say she's far too tired and will come tomorrow. Do you think they're trying to tell me something?  Meanwhile I've got a fridge freezer bursting with food - and I'm on a diet!
