Three silly things ...

that ruffled my feathers this morning!

1) The ATM outside the village Post Office has been altered to dispense only £20 notes. I wanted £50 so had to go into the Post Office, queue for 10 minutes, to withdraw money at the counter.

2) Young man pushing the flimsiest of baby buggies. His right hand was through the loop of his Labrador's lead and only resting on the handle of the buggy - so in control of neither. His left hand was doing - guess what - yes, holding his mobile phone to his ear !

3) A woman, old enough to know better, allowed her dog to defaecate right outside the junior school gates - and walked off! As this was at 'school run' time there were a number of outraged mums storming after her!!

All so easily fixed too, just thoughtlessness really.

It amazes me how many dog walkers do not go prepared with poop bags, I not only have the bags but also paper towelling so it if it is a wet one I can still collect it up!

....ST in these situations you just have to count to ten slowly

Life is full of things to make ones feathers stand on end daily and it is not good for older folk to get too worked about things we can't change.

Well ... it did have an upside. Because I had to wait in the Post Office queue I found a DVD of one of my favourite films - a version that I had not seen before. Now I am going to watch it while I do the ironing!

Re: Three silly things ...

1 Take a deep breath, hold then exhale slowly x 3,

2 Count to 10 x 3 slowly,

3 Picture yourself in a beautiful flower meadow scent and warmth abound.

4 If the source is still around and annoying, feel free to shoot the wretches.
