5am last Friday.
On the A9 coast road towards Nimes from Narbonne.
On the way home
Mediterranean on the right.
Sun starts to come up.o
Its arcing into the sky.
Right in front of us, blinding corona.
SGM what direction would you say we are heading
Her: North.

Rather like the o.h. of someone who posted earlier, I once worked with a young lady who firmly believed that, when driving, North lay directly in front of her.

Not something she said but something she did.
It was(for once) damn hot this afternoon so she winds down the window in the car

Nothing stupid about that you may think, but she forgot where we were.....

Hopefully just a brain fart and not early onset dementia biggrin
I wound it back up bloody quickly!

You could turn up the air-con. Be much less likely to involve being eaten.

Just a momentary lapse, from an experienced driver, about which we both had a good laugh;
OH and I discussing our new car. It's an automatic.
"So it doesn't have a gear pedal?"

Just read that out to the wife, slight pause and a nervous forced laugh; I think she may have thought the same!

Yep, air con would have been a lot less bite-y(potentially!),shame she didn't think to actually use it!!
Saying that,it could do with a re-gas

A number of years ago my wife and her friend asked why Italy didn't appear in the Commonwealth Games.

In the supermarket, buying a new drinks bottle for our 5yr old to take to school.

She picks up one and says "he'll like this".

I say "I wonder if it is leak-proof".

She tips it upside down and shakes it "seems fine".

"Yup, fair kept that air in" says me rolleyes

This in the same day we were checking the lights for an MoT, I'm standing at the front and shout "full beam"....right indicator comes on. She's fortunate she's easy on the eye.

Mate asked me to help him check his lights ready for his MOT the other week as his girlfriend had noticed one of the rears wasn't working. Checked all round the car, all working fine. Came to the conclusion she'd noticed the brake lights are not always illuminated. Not quite sure what she expected to see... the whole back of the car lit up like a Christmas tree?

In the pub with a mate and the two wives. Somebody mentioned the clocks were due to be changed next week and asked if that meant it would be lighter in the mornings. My mate's wife asked "if you put the clocks back how does the sun know?"

Beer was spat.

I spilt some oil on the block paving, a lot of oil, she obviously had to tell me off whilst I was clearing it off.

I was using a blowtorch on some bits as it boils the oil and it flashes to smoke, leaving it clean, she says "Dont do that you will burn the bricks"

Er, what are kilns made of, how are bricks made ?

As expected, the bricks did not burn and the oil slick is much better.

She is very intelligent but seems to have swathes of physics/materials related stuff missing from her brain.

Indeed, it'll be the last Sunday in October for most of the world, the intervening six weeks could be interesting...
