And breathe ... 2 3

 Gordon Bennet life is throwing up some irritations  just now. 

I have lost my watch charger: since it is only ever in one of two places in the house this is absolutely incomprehensible, but we've looked in those two places and numerous others where we knew it wouldn't be, and wasn't,  and it has yet to show it's smug shiny charging prongs anywhere.  Hope now is that it got left in the Glasgow flat when we were over there last week. Surprised my watch hasn't needed charging since then, and I can't help feeling that surely I miust have charged it in the last seven days but who knows.....

My phone charger gave up the ghost overnight. My phone was 14% charged when I plugged it in last night, I listened to some audible stuff for half an hour then went to sleep about midnight. By 6 o'clock this morning the charge showed as 11% and it wasn't actually charging. New phone charger purchased by the OH at Tesco this morning. Hats off to him! 

Most unsettling was not being able to find some tickets that we need for this evening and tomorrow evening. Since I cannot believe I would not have transferred them to my e-nail ticket folder immediately upon receipt and forwarded the e-mail to the OH at the same time for our usual belt and braces  approach to such things, I suspect we never had an e-mail with the tickets attached in the first place. However I did not say this to ATG when I asked for duplicates as a) I can't be sure and b) I don't need the argument and c) why bother if they will re-send anyway. My major worry was that they would not arrive in time but full marks to ATG they arrived in less than an hour from me submitting the request for a duplicate set. 

So we are back off to Glasgow later today, staying two nights so that we can fit in two theatre performances ( although the buses are all higgledy  piggledy apparently because of roadworks near the theatre, just another irritation I could do without) and seeing the Tutankhamun exhibition tomorrow. I'm told it's very good - report here in due course no doubt. 

Meanwhile let's cheer ourselves up with a couple of penguins!
