The 3 day weekend

Bring it on.
A lovely swim.
Had to vacate for the army of navy swimsuited clone like aqua-fitters. Happening upon their co-ordinated brollies upstairs and looking down upon them, the sisterhood made me feel both pride in their willing and effort and fear for what lies ahead for me.
I'm off to buy a red cossie in defiance.
Home for a hearty lunch and then a wander amongst the snowdrops before the rain.
In my attempt to be good I tried to do the glass recycling. Finding myself at a different supermarket I was filled with excitement, distaste and fear at the massive contraption that loomed large. No nice colour coded game of smash here
'Place one object at a time' the lady instructed from inside the machine.
I was concerned that it was taking the thinking out of the task..so I tried to blip the machine in action and very nearly lost the phone to the beast. Focus.
I got over eager and put two wee beer bottles in at once time- ok it was maybe spite and rebellion-
'please remove the item" the lady asked very nicely from inside the beast as it froze, broken and confused by the overload of two bottles.
No way was I sticking my hand into the mouth of this creature between the sliding doors.
'Please remove the item' could still be heard as I quickly scurried away, both pleased at fooling the system, and humiliated at being overwhelmed by the technology.
