I must be paying less attention to things or my expectation gauge is way off.


Yesterday, on my lunch break, i took a trip to a retail park to buy a bulb for my car (rock and roll!). As i walked up to the front door of Halfords i began to slow down and then paused for the door to open. I only paused for a split second, however that split second seemed like an eternity. You see, if the door was automatic all would have been well. But it wasn’t. It had handles and OPEN written in big letters on the glass. Worst part is, i was looking at the door while walking towards it, not on my phone or distract by anything else. Are there so many Automatic doors around that I’m beginning to expect that door will open for me without having to lift a finger?


What a numb nuts.


My 2nd surprise hit me this morning. I was up at 5.30am for my morning run. Looking out the window wasn’t the most motivational thing i could have done but i needed to know to dress appropriately – shorts & T or Man tights & jacket. Anyway, the sky had dark heavy clouds, it was raining slightly and very windy. I chose man tights & jackets. i didn’t want to be cold.


So, i got dressed then stepped out side, closed the door and all i could feel was a warm, almost tropical warm, wind. Shocked i was. This is Scotland I live in. Wet = cold. Needless to say man tights & Jacket was the wrong choice. Sweating was an understatement.


I was genuinely surprised by those two insignificant events. So much so i they stuck in my head. Weird.


Well, if you held on till the end of this post I’ve probably just wasted a couple of minutes of your life that you’re not getting back. Ah well. What would you have been doing otherwise!?

I nearly wet myself the first time i saw this video. It shouldn’t be funny, you know, to laugh at other peoples misfortunes, etc. It’s just the way the 2nd woman appears on camera running like an old man.


Once you’ve laugh at it a few times though, actually watch it and think about it. These women could have caused themselves serious harm. And no one actually attempted to help them till they got across the finishing line. i know it shows grit and determination, but it’s a bit stupid too.


Anyways, enough moaning about it. If laughter is the best medicine, this is a strong dose!
