They Say What They Say

So, guess who gave themselves a flat tyre just as they were going out for fish and chips this evening? If your name starts with 'L' and ends with 'aylee' put your hand up :~\

It was my own damn fault. I noticed a pin stuck in one of my car's tyres and of course I had to pull it out. The fact that the tyre than started to deflate was a totally unforseen consquence of my actions.

But hey, it's not the first flat tyre I've ever had to deal with, so I pull out the jack, prised the spare out of the boot and had little trouble getting the flat one off. However getting the spare tyre on? Not so easy. I just couldn't get the wheel bolts to line up with the holes in the rim and no amount of swearing and cursing made it work. It was so frustrating! Eventually I had to go and knock on the door of my downstairs neighbour and ask if her (male) dinner guests could come and give me a hand, which they did thank god, cos I'd probably still be wrestling with it if they hadn't.

So much for being a capable, independent woman of the world, eh?
