Memoes to self

(1) Next time you get toothache, it won't get better any sooner just because you put off ringing the dentist.

(2) When arranging for the plumber to come round, write it down. This avoids you coming back from a bracing walk to find him just about to drive off.

(3) When taking stuff to the dry cleaner, try not to drop it in a wet, muddy car park.
