I suddenly find myself in need of a USB 2 type B cable. And I realise that, whilst house was fuckin' lousy with them 4 or 5 years ago, I don't seem to have a single one right now.

Snagged the nail on my left index finger two days ago. Yep, now infected.
Why does that always happen, no matter how often you wash/disinfect it? Right down the side of the nail.

Most annoying effect is not the pain. It’s that I can’t noodle on my bass guitar! Bah. Was having fun trying some walking bass lines, with palm muting and thumb plucking, to make it sound like an upright jazz bass.
😐
(Thanks to Ryan Madora for the original inspiration, btw.)

Why is there never a clover-leaf cable around when you need one.

Yet if you need a kettle lead, you can only ever find clover-leafs.

It's the strangest thing: enquiries are sure to come in when you're either unwell or on holiday.

The reverse is also true.

Why is it that on the weekend it is cloudy and blah outside, but during the week the sun blazes in the sky at eye searing intensity? I want it to be cloudy during the week while I'm out driving, and sunny at the weekends. Not the other way around.

“I will follow you to the car dealership, in case you break down”, I said to my son. Well we wouldn’t want him stranded by the roadside. Then I end up with a flat tyre and stranded by the roadside. There is some irony in there somewhere. #isntitironic #sodslaw #stranded

Missed my bus, got a taxi driver who ended up in a spot 22km away from where I was, all whilst a north wind brought sand from the desert in heaps #SodsLaw

Hanna has been so on the muscle the last few times I've ridden her. 100% down to thk fact that the arena has been frozen early mornings here in the UK the last couple of weeks.

Lucky for us we have a big competition on Friday so it's obviously perfect timing 😂 at least we'll get great marks for paces and self carriage.

(she's been prancing around and snorting like a dragon, throwing tempi changes and half canter piris is all over the shop)
