Milo

Karen and I went to the awesome Hare Hatch Sheeplands on Saturday, this time to buy some fruit bushes for the allotment. Bernard fell asleep in the car on the way over.

*What’s the plan?* I asked.

“You’re going to stay in the car while I go and buy the fruit bushes. I’m being decisive, for once. I hope you like it.”

*I do like it. Feel free to buy me some nougat from the farm shop.* I said, while I pulled into a parking space.

She made it clear that this was not going to happen.

So I sat in the car, listening to Jonathan Ross, with Bernard snoozing in the back. Some time later, she returned.

“I brought you something.”

Milo

Meet Milo. The name owes its existence to a terrible, terrible pun.

More context.

Book online?

Hey, Specsavers, here’s a little newsflash for you.

Being able to book an eye examination online is NOT the same thing as providing a form for people to fill in, and then phoning them back to actually make the booking.

When your reminder letter said *Book your appointment online* I was expecting to be able to actually, y’know, book an appointment online. If I wanted to book over the telephone, then don’t you think that I’d just phone your number instead?

Granted, your system does have the advantage that I wouldn’t have to wait in a call queue, but I still can’t help feeling that you’ve missed the point.

I’m an idiot. I just booked a dentist appointment for the same day that I was planning to send the car into the garage for its service and MOT. I need my car to get to the dentist.

UPDATE: I’m not an idiot. I’m going to send the car into the garage two days earlier.
