Panic in the Office

[chris]

In the car it takes about 10-15 minutes to get to school, even longer if it's busy.

Don't forget the 10-15 minutes it takes me to drive home afterwards.

I have also learnt (through experience in the last week) how to fix p******es. 

but she hasn't learnt to put the tools away afterwards.

I've been off the bike for the last couple of weeks (stoats ate my knees while I slept).

 

That explains a lot! Do you mind if I use that explanation occasionally?

Certainly. But that's what I figured it was. I leave the bedroom window open at nights. It's quite probable that stoats crawl through and then come and bite out my kneecaps.

Either that or it's a combo of overuse or reactive arthritis after being bitten by a great big bug and getting a nasty Staphylococcal infection.

Are all daughters out of the same mould?

Got a text from my eldest. It is a transition day so she is at the secondary school. I dropped her off (about 200m away) on the tandem this morning.

Plz pick up now.
Txtd back to start walking up the road as I am busy (as you can tell  ).
Got another txt
Meet at top of XXX
Phoned to say  keep walking. I've got to finish some stuff but I'll pick you up if I pass you. You may be home before me.

As for tools - she has an interesting interpretation of leaving the kitchen clean and tidy after cooking.
