Southcoastpete Apr 2021 10:51am, 20 Apr 2021 5,952 posts	0 Southcoastpete A bit nippy up here for that WtnMel. Though plenty of stairs here at work, and I'm on the third floor at the hotel I'm staying at. So chance for some strength work.

Eynsham Red Apr 2021 5:47pm, 20 Apr 2021 7,487 posts	0 Eynsham Red [I went on holiday to Norfolk a few years ago with all of my running kit except shoes. I went to the sports department in Jarrolds department store in Norwich where I was suitably equipped with a shiny new pair of running shoes].

Only realised when I got in that I’d worn my lanyard the whole way instead of sticking it in a pocket. I’d probably have noticed if it hadn’t been behind the straps of a running pack to be fair. Probably.

Badger Apr 2021 10:00am, 24 Apr 2021 13,777 posts	0 Badger Half senior moment, half caffeine event horizon: needed to grind some coffee beans and put water in the machine. It's a good grinder, I would have missed it if I'd actually got as far as pouring water into it.

This morning I went to charge my kindle and instead found myself trying to charge my coffee mug. It was my third coffee of the day as well, clearly not strong enough!

=============

I was just drying my hair after a shower, I switched the hairdryer on and suddenly the bedroom was plunged into darkness, the hairdryer wasn't working either. Great, the electrics have just tripped out.

I find a torch, go to the fuse box but nothing has tripped - turns out I pressed the light switch instead of the hairdryer 'on' button.
