Insignificant Things That Make You Happy.

Standing in the garage yesterday doing some work on MTB and noticed something out the corner of my eye..

I little baby DUCK !!!! wandering round outside... I went to shoo it away and what do you know, the bugger runs past me and into the garage.

Me, Mrs Weeksy and weeksy08 then spend the next 45 mins trying to catch the little bugger into a box. EVENTUALLY after removing half the contents of the garage and a lot of cursing, Donald was in the box and Mrs Weeksy took it round the corner to the pond.

weeksy08 was disappointed as he wanted to keep it as a pet...

the wife took some pics, but i didn't get one.

I have a carrier bag of assorted extension cables in the garage. Having need of one I rummaged in the bag and pulled out...an adult toad!

Obviously it decided that it was a good gaff to overwinter in.

Saw it around for a few years after that (it became 'Terence the Terrace Toad' as it seemed to appear on the lower patio in warm rainy weather' and occasionally heard it crashing through the undergrowth ie lavender bushes in the front garden. Lovely big specimen.

My Sis in law works for Morrison's. They had a delivery of loose bottles and cans to be bundled and discounted. Being a conscientious worker, my SIL said to the store manager, 'Fuck off, I've not got time for that' and informed him that she was going to sell them to staff for a tenner a tray, minus staff discount. I found myself outside the loading bay last night, stacking my car with six big trays of assorted beers, for £8.50 a tray....

I go to a school that has quite rural grounds even though it is less than a mile from the centre which has had some random animal invasions!

We have had so far a baby deer in one of the pupil toilets, mice in the staffroom, blackbird in one of the classes, fox in the front office and last week a squirell in one of the classrooms.

Apparently the Deer was an ex BBC employee!

I finally have my computer back

Who knew that spilling beer on a laptop would damage it???

We're not allowed under desk PCs at work any more, too many incidents of people knocking cups of coffee over and killing them

My desk pc at work is one of them nifty little HP elite desk things which hides behind the monitor.

"The oceans are rising, climate change is worrying, we have to be aware but it needs to go higher up the chain.

"Is the government doing enough?"

While Adam may believe environmental activists should be looking 'higher up the chain,' a 2021 report by The Ecologist delves into the impact Land Rovers - specifically Defenders - have on the planet.

"It's not my fault, they should have stopped me!"

I'm exceptionally happy that my boss is trusting me to do tech stuff on the scooters. A small thing, but it makes me more useful than just sitting waiting to talk to people. And I do like learning stuff!!

Finding the underground carpark at the local supermarket.

Not only is there always plenty of spaces. The car stays cooler and the spaces are HUGE

I think you'll find that's a small car

[Mr. Dazzle]

I think they call them mini cars actually.
