This morning it took me over twice as long as usual to drive to work angry. Not blaming anyone in particular but it seems to coincide with the schools starting again.

During this mornings commute, some &^%$ tooted their horn at me because they were trying to merge into the lane I was in and there wasn't room because the lane was bumper to bumper of stop-start traffic. The lane i was in split into two at the roundabout and I stayed in the middle lane whereas the &^%$ was trying to cross the road markings into the lane. I quite clearly had right of way because I wasn't changing lanes, and I had been in a slow crawling queue whereas they had zoomed along a freely flowing lane and tried to push in at the last minute. £*&^$% bastards wind me up sometimes.

And yesterday, I made myself a cup of tea and drank it, and later in the day went to refill the kettle for another cup. I then noticed a cooked disintegrating slug on the limescale trapping mesh in the spout eeek. Needless to say I didn't have my 2nd cup of tea and the mesh was immediately scrubbed under a hot tap. Ewww.

Oyoyoy Mike not pleasant at all, at least it was cooked!

The traffic is what we are not looking forward to when we go to the UK next month. Rush hour here is three cars at once around here, just a little different!doh

Funny, isn't it – how normal courtesy goes out of the window for some people when they get in their cars.

Why is it they always want MY bit of space?????   steam

The forum would be rather dull, I suspect.  big_hug

Oh BS, you have cheered me up!  I've just had a very stressful sight test which took over an hour, came home to find cleaning lady still here and then couldn't stop her talking for ages when all I wanted to do was lie down in a darkened room.  Thank you honey.big_hug

I'll try that again!

It's a Bordeaux Superior by Benoit Valerie Calvet at £5.99 – I needed cheering up as I said elsewhere. whistle  That reminds me, I must open it and drink some.
