What minor disaster has befallen you today?

LazyDaisy 30 Jun 12:41pm, 30 Jun 2024 40,342 posts	0 LazyDaisy On Thursday evening I booked 2 tickets for the theatre on Saturday evening, and 2 for a play in September. My credit card has been charged for the full amount. The email with our e-tickets for Saturday came through straightaway. No sign of our e-tickets for September (I'd thought they were all on one email, but they aren't. I can't remember which seats I booked for September but 🤞the computer at the box office does!

This time it's 4 actors, and includes a chariot race and sea battle and promises to be equally entertaining. )

One of the bags - a brand new one - is made of slippery plastic 'fabric' and slipped out of my hand as I went to empty it, and fell into the skip, which at that very moment had the compactor activated. Luckily one of the hi-viz chaps came to my rescue and stopped the machine just in time, retrieving the errant bag with what looked like an old sash window pole.

Serves you right for having something in your kitchen that doesn’t sound the way it’s spelt 😉
