I Didn't Know That It Was.....
....... a Tribute to Those Who Must Not Be Named But Who Bite Tyres, but I don't think that excuse is going to save me.
It was all so innocent. I was bowling along at about 6.30am this morning enjoying the cool air and clear roads, and I spied a little shiny orange ball on the grass at the side of the road. Knowing that no-one was around, I executed a (dare I say it) neat and graceful u-turn to investigate more closely. It was a little chocolate foil-covered pumpkin sweet which I gladly pocketed as "commuter's gleanings" and munched at some point on the way to work.
A few minutes later I discovered that my Nano had no battery power whatsoever. I had 2 punctures on the way to work, caused by humongous, fearsome blades of flint which I have dug out of my tyres and are now sat on my desk. I now have 2 gashes in my tyre, and leaks of Slime. I nearly brained myself on the wall after slipping on the non-slip surface in the gym wet-room. I have had an awful morning with horrible, horrible issues coming my way to solve. My hair has dried fuzzy.
What next? I know that there are those who leave things to appease the Traffic Light Goblins and others on Halloween. I appear to have Munched What I Should Not! I'm hoping that a handful of wild bird seed at the spot tomorrow morning might sort things out.
