I found it in the last place I looked.

Of course you did, who carries on looking once they’ve found something?

A poor workman blames his tools.

Surely it depends on the tools? I really need a new brush for the garden and I am sure if I buy a new one the mess on the patio will improve. Some tools are crap.

By the way LG, are you objecting to that on the grounds that you haven't made your bed at all, or that just because you made it doesn't mean you have to lie in it? 😀

It's just that I kind of like having a nicely made bed to get into at night. 😉

Nope, in real life the hare won and the tortoise was times out at the first checkpoint.

You should always look a gift horse in the mouth by the way.

It's not free if it costs you an arm and leg at the vets in the next 6 months...

Yes Roo, exactly that! Also, be very wary of "friends" gifting wooden dinghies...
