After today confirming for work tomorrow, but saying I would be unavailable for Friday, I received a message after returning home advising that I'm not needed tomorrow. Only a minor disaster as, despite missing out on money, I didn't really want to go in tomorrow. It's too hot at work, I'm dog tired, and I'd rather have the freedom to enjoy the good weather. It also opens up the possibility of running a 10K race tomorrow evening. Undertrained, hot and sunny - potentially tomorrow's minor disaster

Took the dog out, sunglasses on, got back. He confirmed that the glasses were fixed and ready to wear. Swapped sunglasses for glasses, picked up phone and quickly found my middle finger and thumb firmly glued to it. Much wiggling and rinsing later and I’m free, the phone’s drying out nicely.

Raemond Jun 2023 3:11am, 16 Jun 2023 10,531 posts	Quote Pin Raemond I was able to go and buy another bottle, so it wasn't that major. Just €22 evaporated in the sunshine.
