In the grand scheme of things it was nothing, but when hot, tired and busy it was becoming the straw that broke the camel's back!
Yesterday morning I awoke to find that the insect bite on my arm, received whilst doing the Race, looked like a large archery board regardless of the antibiotic cream I had been using. So it was a trip to the docs morning surgery (no appointment necessary) where I had to sit with the great unwashed for almost 2 hours.
After receiving my oral antibiotics I went home to find the printer had broken! I then had a 20 minute arguement over the phone regarding a disputed credit card bill - an arguement that I'm pleased to say I eventually won. In between times I kept ringing my elderly mother-in-law to say I was setting off to her house to do some of her chores - only to find that for 3 hours there was no answer. On eventually getting hold of her it would appear she had forgotten I was going & had gone shopping! Then whilst vacuuming I knocked a picture on my wall & it fell in slow motion, smashing glass all over the floor!
By this time I was fit to do a perfectly passable impression of Veruca Salt (Charley & the Chocolate Factory), however the world suddenly became tranquil & lovely again when I saw the latest email on my computer - the first scan of our third grandchild soon to born in Australia.
Now all is well with the world again........until the next time!!!!!
I hope all our Mac friends are having a lovely sunny, healthy, troublefree day!
