Time to call the police for fraud, maybe?

My tortoise died. She lived with my mum and they found her in the garden dead today. No idea what caused her death as she was eating OK yesterday. She wasn't young, I've had her 43 years and she was an adult when I got her so I reckon she was at least 60. But I'll miss her biting my ankles until I went and fetched her sliced banana.

My gripe is having to ask the waste of a nephew to return my Optimate after 6 months because the SV battery was weak after 2 weeks parked up and new flooding the engine.
Optimate broken. He snapped the wires off the main body of the charger.
I swear the nephew could break a brick.

I have an evening of trying fix it ahead of me now.

Tractor trundling down an NSL dual carridgeway on the way home. Car in the runnning lane wouldn't undertake him so we were all stuck doing 20 for a few miles until I managed to squeeze past at the lights.

Badly stacked dish rack causing a plate to jump off at a mere fart and smashing a floor tile. Not a great wake up call.

This 'king cold and chest infection, three weeks now and a course of antibiotics and I'm still a snottery mess that can't breath I've had enough of it...

M25? At least you're in a car park then Mav!

Just for a change it's flowing freely, luckily we didn't breakdown in the tunnel otherwise we would have featured in the traffic report and causing miles of misery. Still only been waiting nearly 2 hours.

Having to carry the guy I'm working with every Monday because he's still half pished from last night. Makes me look bad
