I'm assuming you were having a walk sans-pants?

Nah, I would also greet everyone with a hard hat and cool sunglasses. :-)

Miss 10 made the school netball team this year after being left out last year. I would have been royally annoyed if she missed out this year after the coach admitted she screwed up not picking her but all is well. It worked out ok for her last year, she got player of the season for the club and the competition but her not making the school team upset her.

It looks like miss 8 will be in her team as well so it’ll be nothing but netball for us with Mrs Handle playing and coaching as well.

Sipping my morning coffee while observing this bunfight over in the angry thread -->

That these damned sandwiches always have to fall butter-side down on the floor.

People in the angry thread getting annoyed at things that are not physically possible 😝

(Unless, of course, someone butters the outside of their sandwich. But that would be weird and I would smile at that as well.)

I always butter the outside of my sandwich before it goes in the toastie-pie machine 😁

Apple's and DHL's slick courier service. Ordered some stuff on the App Store over the weekend. Tracking shows 10 entries - picked up from Apple in Sydney at 8.00 pm NZ-time yesterday and arrived at our door on the North Shore at 9.00 am this morning.

That's how a courier operation should work.

Sometimes I just sit and think. Other times I just sit.

Well, it is actually possible. The drop height of about 90cm allows the two halves of bread to overcome adhesion forces weakened by the inconsistency of lettuce leaves, tomato slices and cucumbers to move towards the floor on separate trajectories at 9.81 m/s2. During this course of flight, these damn things also somehow manage to reduce the Gaussian normal distribution to absurdity by disproportionately exploiting the frequency of their impact on the butter side, not to say with somnambulistic certainty. :-)

Oh, you get that in Auckland too, I've had a package from Amazon get to NZ in three days, and then it got released and handed over to Aramex. I'm still waiting for them to get it from one side of town to the other.

Once (if) it gets here and I've got a timeline for it I'll open a case with Amazon support telling them to use anything but Aramex as their NZ delivery agents.

4 days for them to get my microwave oven from glenfield mall to home. About a 7 min drive.

At this time it is no longer a sandwich. I maintain my position 😉.
