Does anyone else ping the washing line after it's rained - or is it just me what is sad?! It always raises a smile for me and if the cat is in the garden it doesn't half scare the bejesus out of him  :D
ooo I must try that ;D Bob is so fat and laid back I think he needs it. I'v a bucket with catnip growing in it which he is crazy about I think that accounts for the cross-eyed laid back look :-X

Smile at your enemies.

It makes them wonder what you are up to.

I mentor a 14 year old at his school who is constantly in trouble.
Last month he dreamed up snitching a stack of detention notices; he wrote kids names on them, then distributed them to those students stating that he was the Dean's Assistant that day.

I thought that was highly creative!
Any other creativity stories?

something unusual happened to us last saturday when we decided to park the car outside of Bath and walk in along the river (app 2 to 3 miles) we had a little look around and bought some fish n chips to eat in a grassy square when from over the fence came a"can you help me please" from a elderly lady (one older then me!!) she wanted help reverse parking her car and OH ended up doing it for her
( i chickened out only done it twice since I passed 16 years ago) goodness knows how she got it out again as it was in there quite tight perhaps she asked someone else ! so much for our efforts to avoid parking in Bath ???

My late sister-in-law had an elderly friend who would only park at the end of a line of parked cars, never in to a space between cars!! In a busy place like Bromley they often had to walk quite a way to the shops. She also went the wrong way up a dual carriage way once and had to get someone to turn the car round. Grief no wonder there are accidents. I do wonder how many of us oldies would pass a test now, I would certainly have to study the theory test!!

^^  ;D ;D

It's so lovely over there, all Christmassy (I know, too early) and I was very good.  I only spent £16.00 and some of that was for someone else.  Oh, and £11 in the cafe.  Ahem  :-[

Went shopping to our local outlet centre.  Walked all round and the only thing that I bought was a packet of cheap socks.  (Good thing that no one sold seeds or plants) or gardening books).   ;D ;D
