Tuesday I ate my lunch too early (one of the 10:30 munch on lunch) and figured I'd get a snack for mid-afternoon before I jog back to Waterloo... Nope, left wallet at home, but I raided the fruit basket - at least there was an apple I could munch on.

Fragile Do Not Bend
At the moment I appear to have a virus that isn’t too bad but has turned my brain to mush? Luckily I don’t have to do much thinking today.

However I went to Waitrose and used the scan as you shop thing, but I forgot that meant I could pack my bags as I went round, so I ended up putting it all in the bags whilst standing in one of the aisles and feeling like I must look rather suspicious. I also scanned the barcode for my free coffee before I realised I’d forgotten my coffee cup.

Yesterday I left the flat in a hurry, annoyed that I’d forgotten that it was Friday and therefore the day for putting food waste and other rubbish out into the street.

It took me at least a minute to realise but thankfully before I got to the point of texting OH and asking home to do it.

I was scan and shopping in a rush this afternoon. I stopped myself from putting the scanner on the shelf, then scanned the coffee and went to put that back on the shelf...

I was just about to leave on my run commute to work today and realised I didnt have my pass which has my locker key on it.

A bit of thinking back and I knew it was in my cycling jacket pocket as I cycled yesterday. But I put that in the washing, glance at the machine and what do I see but the jacket spinning around with 43 mins of the cycle left.

Luckily I switched off the machine and after a minute I could open it and retrieve my pass/key, with a bit of water spillage.

I picked up a hairband and my brush this morning, brushed my hair and plaited it. Looked for the hairband. Couldn't find it. Kept looking.
Eventually found it - on my wrist.

I do that nearly every morning Carp :)

I couldn't work out why my neighbour was laughing at me telling the dog off for chasing the parsnips..

Went into the local hardware store and asked if they had a dustbin and brush.

They knew what I meant, which was nice.
