Just one of those days.. do you get 'em?

You know, when things are irritating - not big, all important things, just blinking annoying..

Decided to drive over to Wick Tesco - like 'most' of us do.. so out of Strathy, up the brae and onto the nice fast A836 that runs to Melvich.. em, 'what's those signs, says Mrs Beks, as we noticed a couple of A4 sized boards a few inches off the ground, - upon which were laminated (judging by the sheen) sheets with, what must have been maybe one inch high words.. no way of making out what they said - even at 20 mph..
So at Melvich we actually stop the car, Mrs Beks gets out and what does it say? "Drive carefully, sponsored walk in progress" - words fail me..
Oh well onto Haygarth & Sons Gun & Rifle Makers at Dunnet - I'd checked their website and they are open 'Saturday 10.30am - 5.30pm', that's ok, it was now 11.00am.. pulled in, at the same time as another vehicle, where two lads jumped out, to the door and walked back to their car "he's got a bloody sign on the door- closed all day- looks permanent" he says, giving a rather strange gesticulation.. and they drive off with wheels spinning.. Me, more restrained, get Mrs Beks to ring the number prominently displayed "should find out when they are open" I tentatively suggest.. Ah, answerphone?; nope, ah redirected?; nope.. nufin, just a continuing unanswered ring.. How the hell do these people manage to run a business? we remark as we too drive off..

Into Tesco, get in the queue in the cafe there. Being not too hungry, lets have soup; their Minestrone with bread, that'll do me, get to front "sorry no soup left" - Ugh? it's only 11.45! it's a blinking supermarket, how can a cafe 'run out of soup'?.. we retreat and get a couple of sandwiches, sit in the car and watch the fit, idle, lazy, gits take up the disabled parking, run into the store - knowing darn well the "£70" fine is just a lot of hot air and absolutely totally meaningless..

Anyway having stopped at Crask Inn yesterday and had a fine cafetiere of excellent coffee; "tiz Kenco medium blend" the chap declared.. hmm say we 'we'll get some of that'.. Strolling along Tesco isles, nope, no Kenco Medium Blend ground coffee, nowhere to be seen - over to Co-op, nope.. it's not that blinking rare is it?.. but the day was finalised off satisfactory by filling up the car with diesel at 115.9p a litre courtesy of us spending fifty quid.. so not all irritating...

We had one of those days recently....
2 small girls played hairdressers....
Lauren cut Ionas hair with her scissors that hardly cut paper (they are sharp enough to hack her sisters hair though)
Euan played up all day not wanting put down.. and cut a tooth.
The house looked like a tornado went through it..not just usual mess...
If I cleaned anything it was trashed behind me....hoover and stuff would be spilt on the floor...cleaned the bathroom and it was redone with sudocream....

Hubby came home and asked what have you done all day

Oh dear Beks, its sounds as if it was one of those days when you wished you hadn't got out of bed !!

I presume his lights were duly punched out?

Had one today with an utter pratt today who, despite the lights being at green for us drivers and red for pedestrians, decided to walk out onto the road, this being Union St in Aberdeen. There seems to be a particularly thick breed of pavement walker here that thinks no matter what the colour of the light they can just cross the road. I almost took this guy out and my thanks for not killing him was to get a mouthful of abuse.

We should be allowed to run these idiots down on the basis that their removal from the gene pool with colectively raise the limit for the rest of us. The worst are pensioners who wander into the road when the lights are telling them to wait and then, when you have to stop for them, smile and wave. What are you waving for you pratt !!, your standing in the middle of the road in my blinkiing way .. MOVE IT !!

[Errogie]

Chill out, check your blood pressure, sounds like you're well on the way to blowing a road rage gasket or even better give up motoring before you damage yourself or some other fellow traveller!

Sounds like you need to come home to chill for a few days. I was driving the other day and there was a bus and a bicycle-it was GRIDLOCK

You sound like my wife.......?

Ruth is that you?

Be calm- it's only steam blowing - and it does not affect my actions, just makes me feel better.
