    I'm just glad I didn't have to clean up the whole lot for once. The carers did the bed and the mess she made in the bathroom.

    TMW the first thing you do after coming home from hospital is to pack an emergency bag should you ever end up back in hospital.

    That moment when you can't get the power cord plugged in to your computer and you think to yourself, "I really don't have a lot of practice putting things in holes." And then you stare internally for a few minutes and wonder when you lost your innocence.

    In my little patch of globe we have the word hølvant, which means "used to holes/experienced in the ways of holes; competent therewith; capable of interacting with holes in an advanced manner". It's a source of much merriment whenever someone, say, fails to insert a USB.

    The word is intended to refer explicitly to orifices of an erotic/sexual nature/utility, but we've found ways to repurpose it.

    ... you realise the joy derived from treating yourself to something from amazon, eBay etc, ends approximately 10 minutes after taking delivery and opening it. My Olympus E-PL1 arrived this morning, and now I'm like, meh.

    Further evidence that attaching happiness to material things is a valueless investment.

    What's not to like. Something for the barbecue and what looks like a carafe of Riesling or Chardonnay...

    TMW you expected the roofer to show at 2ish, after being warned
    they would show in 2-3 hrs at a bit past 11am. Dude shows up at
    at 5:10 pm, and you resist the urge to tell the contractor he is way
    bloody late on his own time frame. :p

    A contractor is never late, nor is he early. He arrives precisely kind of just after he finally gets around to it.

    Being a contractor, I have my pride and show when I say I will.
    Don't think many would accept the Gandalf excuse. :p
