.. I know it looks like one - but it isn’t. I am just experimenting - move along now and sincere apologies if I distracted you.

I went because some friends recommended it. What a pile of drivel.

One of those lovely little movies that you come across and get into and when it all ends you are sad.

How could you ever NOT love Wallace and Grommit - so good.

I watched the series and then I watched [🖇️ the first movie](https://john.philpin.com/2025/02/11/ferry.html) and then I watched this second movie .. and I dunno - I keep watching them - but they don't get better. But somehow I am drawn in. No explanation.

Watched it a while back - so logging it here. Not bad - but maybe watch the series first to garner some context.

Popped into a local store last night - total purchase around 10 bucks and I only had a $100 note. It seemed to be a rare event … and making the change work was … challenging. But we got there - with lots of notes and change coming back. Stuffed it into my pocket and walked off.

This morning I was just sorting out all the papers and notes ready for a fresh day and on checking I seemed to be short of a few dollars. Checked three times - I was definitely $30 bucks short.

I was PISSED. I KNEW what had happened, but too late to go back and complain about the short change. Made a note to myself - lesson learned.

Later this morning I bought a cup of coffee and decided to use some of those notes to make the wallet thinner.

I counted them JOHN out - and as I returned the notes to the wallet spotted a fifty. Wait. A FIFTY?

I sat down and recounted.

I hadn’t been short changed at all - in my pre-coffee early morning hallucinatory mind I had counted the 50 as a 20.

GAH. I am so sorry. I never complained, so you don’t really know. But I think an apology is still necessary. Mea Culpa.

Posting this - and book marking - to remind my future self that people are generally good and I need to always check myself just one more time before ‘going off’.
