We always knew we had a Mrs. Bucket but it also appears up at Happy Valley we also have our own Victor ‘Murphy’s Law’ Meldrew. If it can be stuffed it will be stuffed. Maybe it was jet lag from the trip to Brisbane.
Happily unpacking his new high pressure hose to wash his Ute (pick-up) he methodically worked his way from the back bumper bar towards the front of the vehicle. All was going well, it was successfully removing mud from the wheels, sheep shit from the rear tray, and grass from the suspension. However, at a point half-way along the car he thought he heard the telephone ring. Half turning to the dog and asking it to confirm if the phone was indeed ringing, he paused a moment and heard the Nokia ring again. OK. So turning back to organize shutting off the thin stream of very high pressure water he noticed that the drivers window was still down and the hose was merrily filling up the CD Player and inundating the whole dashboard.
Needless to say he is still trying to turn on the radio and defuse the CD player which continually noisily attempts to eject discs that are not in it.
