Blue?

Here's what happened this morning. I got up early to do some exercise with Davina (no laughing! ; post review resolution) but could not get DVD to work. Had to abandon. Met with dead rat on kitchen floor (thank you cat). Took white school uniform shirts out of washing machine - only to find they were now glowing blue (damn that new dress of M's). Made pack lunches. Hunted for alternative school wear. Persuaded J and M that both neon glow, and one size too small are both preferable to smelly. Took M to school. Forgot her packed tea. Drove home to collect it. Couldn't get up road because of new temp traffic lights (ongoing tram saga). Drove long way round. Parked car. Realised I did have it in the first place. Drove to work - already 20 mins late for meeting. Car park full. Found metered space. No change. Didn't accept notes. Tried 4 different cards. Phoned help no. on meter. No answer. Phoned 'pay with mobile' no. Tipping it down with rain at this point and I'm trying to juggle brolly, wallet, credit card and phone ... At final request for card details I drop card and have to start all over again (v wet). Get to same stage. Card not accepted. Remember it is a new replacement card. Start ALL OVER AGAIN.
Suffice it to say I arrived at my meeting very late very wet but with a good story to tell.
Ah well. Worse things happen at sea (although I'm sure I was wetter).
Fortunately J's t shirt seems to have responded reasonably well to the attempts to wash the blue out ....
