She did one side, then went to the pub for her tea, and then came home to do the other side.

The last time I pulled a stunt like that, I was servicing the forks on a CX500 Eurosport, and I ended up in a hedge because I’d forgotten to put the oil in…

Sounds like she knows her priorities :smiley:

I always tell our daughters that they can learn from their mistakes, but it’s better to learn from other people’s mistakes… Look at daddy!
BTW, I think it has always been like that with many kids, then and now.
Last week our youngest needed to deliver some paper for school. Starting 23:00 the night before, working the night through until 07:45. To have her boyfriend pick it up to deliver at school and then she went to bed :rofl:

I used to work in very high voltage engineering. That’s an important way of thinking. The details of other poeple’s mistakes can usually be found in the coroner’s reports :wink: (in real life I recall it happening twice - both times in the USA and not people I knew personally).

Yesterday we welcomed baby Ava into this godforsaken planet. Granddaughter number 2 and I’m still not 50. She’s a wee peach, 7lb 6oz and a great set of lungs on her. Mother doing well, in the labour suite for a whole ten minutes. Wee one was obviously keen to get out.
