Tractor Without Traction

Which in German could be "Traktor ohne Traktion".

After all the action at the German rowing championships there was a bit of tidying up to do, this bloke was having a bit of problem (and I don't mean the work sandals and socks thing either).

The wheels on the tractor* went round and round, but the tractor stayed where it was.  Quite fun to watch.

Today has been a day of packing and trying to get things organised, not forgetting that dentist appointment at 5...  And to top it off, I'm having one of my clumsy days.  It doesn't matter how much I take care today - and I can't can't take any more care without being locked in an empty room - it seems no matter what I try to do, it doesn't work. 

Cups seem to slosh their hot contents over me EVERY TIME I touch them, I catch the edge of everything, zips do not zip up, or indeed unzip.  I can't find anything that I put down for 5 minutes.

After I get through the dentist appointment, I will go and sit in an empty room.  I feel at that point where frustration is going to give way to rage.  Very Basil Fawlty.
