Pumpkin Face Sunset

Sometimes I wonder at my own ability to be rational.
No, let me rephrase that.
Sometimes I am incapable of being rational. I blame the little laughing Leprechaun sitting on my left shoulder saying "Go on, do it"
"Go on play the joker"

Today a young man came into the office with a parcel and said:
"Are you 38?" and I quipped,
"Nah mate, much older." Everyone in the office groaned.

Then when I got home the phone rang and the following conversation occurred:
Cold caller: "Hello is that Ms Hugankiss?"
Me: "Yes"
"Hi this is Matt, I'm calling from Everest."
"Bloody hell, it's a very clear line are you at base camp?"

"Pardon?"
"I said it's a very clear line, are you at base camp. Surely not the summit?"

"What?"
"You said you're calling from Everest, that is astonishing. Why would you be calling me from there?"

"I'm sorry?"

"Everest"

"Yes...."

"EVEREST" I said "It's a blooming great mountain. Hasn't anybody said that to you before?"
"No."

"Well I'm even happier if I'm the first!"

Any way the Leprechaun made me blip a pumpkin face sunset when I'd actually taken some much nicer photos today.

Have a splendid weekend whether you're up a mountain or selling double glazing.
