Losing the Plot!

Seriously! I need to retire so I can still enjoy the bits of my synapses that still work! Somehow I have manged to lose both my spare battery and charger for my Lumix and even though there are 3 other Lumix chargers in this house none of them fit! Anyhows, I ordered a new one off that Amazonian site and today it came. I opened the box and was confronted with a lump of grey plastic! further investigations revealed another smaller lump of grey plastic.
Ah its the charger but why in Gods name does is have to come in bits! you would need a bloody engineering degree to put the damn thing together! then I discovered the prongy bit thingy that acts as the plus wasnt there! Further scrabbling in the mountain of cardboard it came in finally revealed a stupid wee prongy thingy that had to be slotted onto the other bits of lumpy plastic! Why cant they just give you an ordinary God fearing God forsaken plug! There was more packaging than would come with a large screen TV! Then I started looking for the battery..... no where... have I lost the plot? was there really a spare battery? is the earth round? Had to take my existing battery off to charge and lo at least it worked. Later on an email came in to say the battery was being dispatched! At this rate it will be me that's being dispatched! At least I hadnt imagined there was a battery after all.....or was there? Off to my really serious camera club clutching my miserable contribution to this months competition. I have over 13000 photos on flickr and was hard pressed to find 4 that suited! IS it them or is it me? ....Don't dare answer that ! In the next world I want to be a dog!
My late dad would have been 83 today! Still miss him
Happy blipping all
