The problem this Monday morning...

I woke up with a start as Bev opened the blinds and shrieked at the sight of her leeks being crushed.  On Saturday she asked me to make sure the fence panel I used to shield the leeks from the fire was removed so that it couldn't fall on the leeks.  I didn't remove it, but pushed it forward to a safe angle. Isn't it funny how you suddenly regret things you do...or don't do.

No amount of flowers will put this right.  I just hope 7 or 8 hours might soften the look I'm expecting when I get home after work.

The second problem...yes, there are more; was when I tried to load a photo onto my blog.  I hadn't done it before from the mac and I've obviously done something wrong.  Everything has frozen. I can export to flickr or facebook  but not my blog. Trying to resolve it  made me late for getting to work, so I ran most of the way and was at my desk with chain and ball rattling with about two seconds to spare.

The third problem was that I reached for my bag to get my diary around lunch-time and it wasn't there...the diary that is.  I knew I'd put it in the back-pack and concluded that  it had bounced out while running to work.  I retraced my steps and also checked the house but without luck.

The slimline leather filofax that I've had for over 25 years containing a current diary with lots of important dates, telephone numbers, valuable information, notes, plans, my entire working life history and passwords has bounced out of my life forever.  I don't think security has been compromised  but I'm gutted all the same!

I opened the fridge at work to see that someone had not screwed the milk top on properly and it had all trickled down onto my lunch-box which was directly underneath.

The filter on the chilled water tap isn't working, I've punched the wrong codes in the drink machine and it's giving me coffee and I'm having nothing but problem emails to sort out.

A pretty grotty day so far.

Reality check...the fiance of Karen's hairdresser has been in Afghanistan for a few weeks now and there has been an unconfirmed report that he has just had both legs blown off!

There are countless people who have problems and I'm annoyed that I thought I might be one of them just because of today.

Here's a few pics taken today of the wall.  I've only got the pillar tops, gate and wrought iron to do.  I'll have to include the drive on my to-do list I see.  It's a shame all the ivy has gone.  It was a lovely colour.

When Martin remembers to send some pictures of yesterday, I'll post a couple.

We are now trying to decide between playing a game (not scrabble) or watch a movie.

It looks like Bev has chosen between forgive and forget...either way I win and live to upset her another day.  On a positive note I may never upset her again!  Mmm!
