You can never have enough...

[Lilith7]

In order to short circuit hose wars in the village (we have a hose abuser who refuses to put things back the way she found them, lol), I bought a hose cart so a neighbour and I can share a hose and have it stay uncreased... Ordered online Monday, arrive this morning, assembly required. This klutz managed to stuff that bit up at instruction part 3 of 8, so spent some valuable energy swearing at top before heading off for a restorative coffee. Then thought I would get booster number six before the holidays, tick that box. And as I left I had a small brainwave and called into the hardware shop and asked a nice gentleman there if he could help as I had done something stupid with the flat pack hose cart... He laughed, and told me he had also had one of those mornings, and after listening to my story suggested I bring the beastly bit in and he would see if he could sort it. Then he told me his bad morning story... he was showing an elderly lady customer how to attach a fish fertiliser bottle to a hose fitting when it exploded in his and her face, having fermented in the heat...

I felt so much better after that.

Ohhhh dear! Isn't it odd how other people's disasters can make us feel a bit better...until we do another one of our own!
