Being woken up at night by the screeching of souped up cars. I can hear them as I sit here. They sound like airplanes coming in to land, and the noise goes right through the house. They also modify their exhausts so they bang and backfire. People have been complaining for years, but the police do nothing. It’s the worst it’s ever been.

I wanted to fly to France for a short lunch trip but my plane has had to go in for maintenance at short notice.

Went for a day trip to another country yesterday and walked a ridiculous amount of steps. Now my feet, legs and back hurt

Hate it when this happens, then we have to settle for taking the yacht such an inconvenience

Waitrose was out of blanched whole hazelnuts so I’ve had to snack on pistachios instead.

I bought a nice bottle of wine for the weekend and because I poured two ridiculously large glasses for myself last night I only had one glass tonight.

On my way home from town this evening with DS, we wanted pizzas, and had to go to three CoOps tonight before I could find one with a parking space available.

When you say "your plane", in what sense of "your"?

I hate this especially when you forget and go to bed and realise 😭😭

Or when you dump washing on the bed and forget to sort it till it's bedtime.

The foxes left a present in my garden of a roast chicken carcass, half a lemon and multiple cloves of garlic.

They know how to cook nice chicken!

I've run out of Jaffa cakes.

I was in the Range today, and they were selling HUGE boxes of Jaffa Cake seconds for silly money (£4 something if I remember correctly)😁

I left my book downstairs. Went down to get it just now but couldn't be arsed to turn the lights on down there. Groped around for a bit in the dark but couldn't find it so came back upstairs thinking it must be up here after all.

It isn't.

I want my book but I'm too tired to get out of bed now... 😒
