Random Irritations

My weak limbs. I go to the gym on Tuesdays, do some resistance weights that aren't particularly heavy, but still my arms and chest are absolutely agony for the next two days. Not really sure if it's worth it. :(

Well, part of what I thought was just achiness now appears to be more like a pulled muscle on the underside of my upper left arm. If I reach back over my head it kills. I'm currently hoping I don't need that muscle in my golf swing otherwise tomorrow won't be much fun. :unsure:
 
The Great British weather causing havoc at the International Agility Festival held near Corby. Biggest Agility Competition in the world across 4 days and today was cancelled as so much rain fell last night the courses were "unsafe". Tomorrow already now cancelled as the wind that is forecast is also dangerous (jumps get blown over). Competitors from all over the world left very disappointed and I was hoping to watch and learn :(

My ginger cat deciding at 4 am that his most urgent task was to wash the back of my head. It is flipping annoying, and he is relentlessly persistent.

When we first gave our dog run of the house of a night he’d lick our faces and ears at all hours, think our pillows were for him and sprawl across the bed spread eagled! Luckily that novelty wore off pretty quick

Could be worse, I have chased a few mice round the bedroom during the middle of the night before.

One of my three cats absolutely refuses to a the litter tray. It can have been cleaned out that day and they all will have been outside all day with the door open but she will insist on coming back into the house to take a crap on the floor right beside the litter tray before going back outside.
 
Inner city kids - just got back from Longmore for an army experience for kids (wish I'd never volunteered for it now!) disrespectful, self entitled, no accountability for themselves and soft as s**** but full of mouth.
 
About to take some train journeys.
Will have to endure eye-watering fares, delays, cancellations, platform alterations, overcrowding, and worst of all the nail in your head recorded announcements.

Security announcement: 'If you see something suspicious call the police...' (or you'll be flying mince).

Safety announcements: 'When leaving the train please mind the gap between the train and the platform edge.'
'Due to today's bad weather take extra care on the platforms.'
'If you have a pushchair alight first then wheel it off backwards.'

On board security: 'Keep all your personal possessions with you at all times', which means I can't go to the toilet or I might lose my seat.

Mobile catering announcement: steward insists on mentioning every single item on the trolley.

Stopping point announcements: Every station on the line endlessly repeated.

Guard announcements: repeating exactly the same thing said by the recorded announcement moments earlier.

Then when the train stops in the middle of nowhere and announcements would be welcome, there aren't any.

And let's hope after last night's chaos the Hornsea off-shore wind farm is now working.

I do not want to be car dependant. Especially as I've just had to pay a £60 fine for parking in an ANPR controlled car park when there no large sign to inform me.
I've just been reading about last night's experiences by passengers on the Rail forum. My sympathies go to all those effected. Travelling by train is likely to be a bloody nightmare, but so is driving, especially on smart motorways.
Like last week while driving on the M42. The computerised system had closed 3 of the 4 lanes because someone had pulled into the lay by area. Result was just sitting in the outside lane for half an hour. Then I found there was no incident at all to speak of.
The only form of transport I like these days is walking or taking the bus. At least if there's a problem I can get off at the next stop.
I don't even think of airports after being delayed for hours many times. All you are given is a voucher for a cheap meal.
 
Dumbing down.
When adverts tell you that sofa was £400 last week but now it's half price. Then they tell you it's only £200 this week.

I know what half of 400 is :mad:
 
I stubbed my toe on the wooden part of the sofa last night. It is flipping painful. It is also twice the usual size, and the shape does not look right. I think I might have fractured it in some way.

I am playing a comp next weekend, greensomes on Saturday and foursomes on Sunday. My partner is going to be a happy bunny.
