Brought some tulips last year and thought the colour combination of peach and yellow would look delighful this Spring. The wife swears I am so colour blind that she thinos I should get medical advice. I removed all of the offending tulips as I am not that coloured blind
Nothing to do with gardening, but i purposely don't text my wife on non urgent things as it ruins conversation at dinner time
Last week decided to burn some garden waste. Got the metal incinerator going and thought it would be a good idea to lift the lid and add more. Being stupid and lazy didn,t go to the shed for my gloves but pulled my jumper over my hand. The jumper was only a thin nylon thing I keep for the garden which melted into my hand lucky for me no major damage done to my hand but it bloody hurt. I can be really stupid sometimes.
To see a world in a grain of sand and heaven in a wild flower Hold infinity in the palm of your hand and eternity in an hour.
I thought my husband had the only immobile mobile phone. Always at home and always switched off (that's his phone not my husband).
Talking of doing silly things. Whilst driving I ran out of windscreen washer. Had the really bright idea to use the bottle of water I had in my car and whilst still driving albeit very slowly, thought I would open the window and pour the water onto the windscreen - Bob's your Uncle etc. However, the breeze, caused by a moving vehicle (who knew?) blew all the water back into the car and all over me.... Serves me right for being too lazy to get stop the car and get out. Not one of my brightest..
Ever done that one where you open the car window to clear the snow off it? Just me?
Cold but well lit dinner happens quite often here. I blame my mother. She was famous for only remembering the last thing she'd put on to cook until after the meal was finished (peas for dessert, anyone?) And then there was that time she got locked in the shed by the lawnmower. It's a daunting future I face, slowly getting more and more like her

Haha - me too PG!! Travelled to Luton one day for an important meeting and got stuck in traffic. Feeling very stressed and realising my water had run out, I rolled back the sun roof and decided - like you, to tip drinking water down the windscreen.
Cue the traffic begin moving and result was me turning up for said meeting - late, stressed and having a really bad hair day - all plastered to my head (which I didn't realise quite how bad until I went to the ladies mid-morning!!)
With regard to the oven woes I lovingly made a lasagne one weekend and on the Monday asked number two daughter to pop it in the oven so it would be ready when we all got in from work.
She put it on defrost setting,......very late tea that night!!

Suz3, I think it might be a female thing having said that there are two main reasons why it happened:
1. I blame hubby, he shouldn't have let me run out of windscreen fluid, and
2. We are far too creative for our own good
