Default Worst Day Ever.

1. All geared up, climb on the bike, pull the clutch in and.....nothing. Cable seems loose but not snapped so may be fixable. ANNOYED!

2. Back into the house, out of the biking gear, into my work stuff, and then go to call a taxi, and realise I've left my iPhone on my desk at work, and with no home phone, I'm unable to call a taxi. ANNOYED!

3. So, I start walking to try to find a phone box to call a taxi to get me to work. I'm training some people at the moment so can't afford to be late. Suited, booted, no brolly as it's in the car which the wife has taken, and then the heavens open. Annoyed AND soaked!

4. Get a taxi, £20 fare. Grrrrr!!!

5. Wedding anniversary today and I left the wife's card at work with my phone so she thinks I forgot.


I wish I'd stayed in bed......

It's not over yet, you've got a day at work, a trip home and a wife to face, better get her a present as well.

Think I've resolved the clutch. Recent oil change so may well be I've used the wrong oil and the plates are sticking. I'll have a word with the previous owner and see whether he changed it to fully synthetic and if he has, then problem definitely solved.

Already have the card so I'll show her the receipt with Tuesday's date on if she doubts me! I have a table booked for Saturday night so that should keep her quiet. I just hope she knows how to play snooker.....
