Happy, happy, happy.

No smudges or blurs on the camera lens today. How annoying it is to find Bud's nose print all over your photos when you get home. If I were efficient I would clean the lens routinely before I went out.

BUT I am not efficient, never have been and a butterfly (or is it caterpillar) cannot change it's spots. My first employer discovered this very early on in our acquaintance. I stupidly had the idea that I could become a perfect secretary, in the days before computers or even electric typewriters. I did my training, got a good job at Oxford University Press, beautiful offices, had a lovely boss, could type reasonably well, take down shorthand sot of quickly, only one drawback, I couldn't read my shorthand back.

I was very inventive and all the letters and documents sounded great but they were my own invention! My long-suffering Boss heaved a sigh of relief when I saved him from a nervous breakdown and gave in my notice. I went back to college, became a nursery teacher and enjoyed an inefficient life. Only occasionally does my lack of forethought ( as my husband calls it) annoy me, but not often!
