Two summers ago I planted some of these little seedlings in some pots near my front door. They only last a season but they seed enough to grow fresh ones the following year. I haven’t planted any more since that first year and I cleaned out the pots over that winter, but two years later these little things still sprout up between the cracks of the paving.

What a way to start my week

Set the scene: My car is parked in the garage, Hunnys car sleeps in our visitors parking bay because the bikes take up the other spot in the garage. Our garage has a switch which disables the remotes from working on the electric doors. Not what you want in the daytime because you wouldn’t be able to open the doors from the outside, but it locks the garage up nice and tight at night. We also have a door leading into the kitchen from the garage.

Hunny left for work before me yesterday morning, as most mornings, so when I realized that I couldn’t find my keys he was already at his desk and starting his day. I turned the house upside down searching for my keys, everywhere that I could look which was the whole house except for the garage. My kitchen-garage door key is on the missing set of keys, and because Hunnys car doesn’t sleep in the garage, he doesn’t go in there in the mornings, so that door was still locked. The only place the keys could be was inside the garage, and I couldn’t get in there for that exact reason!

I sheepishly emailed my manager and asked if I could work from home, as I suspected I had locked my keys in the garage so it was holding my car hostage. Doh!

My guess was right though. When Hunny got home in the afternoon and I got into the garage with his keys, this is where I found them.

(Yeah, hanging onto the keyhole, out the way of Hunny locking up the house with his keys last night! Sneaky buggers)

By the way, I was going to post this yesterday, but I couldn’t because I’d left my phone-to-pc cable at work over the weekend – the one I need to get the pics off  – and of course I didn’t go in to work yesterday!
