I was feeling quite pleased with myself this morning, having mown the back lawn and trimmed the other (small) front hedge before the green bin is collected. Mrs R chatted to me as she left to walk across to town, reminding me to bring the car across to help get the shopping back. Finished tidying up the trimmings (aware of the law of diminishing returns, and Zeno's paradox!), put everything back in the garage, went round to the back door and... it's locked! So is the front. And the side...

Luckily, still had my phone in my pocket (a fact that continues to amaze me, I'm that old!), and Mrs R had not gone too far, so we were able to meet and get her front door key. She had the grace to look sheepish!

Which reminds me, a #PostCardsFromAfar participant once looked up my address on G Streetview before sending me their card, and found me trimming the exact same hedge as today!

@carusb 🫣 …oh boy!
@carusb eek! We've done that before, managed to hook the key off a table through the letterbox. Now we double check every time we open the front door...
@35millimetre All our doors have deadlocks (so need to be consciously locked) which I much prefer. I've certainly locked myself out with Yale type locks before!
