ditzy

i did something very stupid tonite...it's one of those had to be there moments to appreciate...but i was so ditzy i have to share.

We bought a bar stool which needed to be put together. So me thinking I am so good at putting things together. In fairness the instructions had 4 pictures and no written instructions. It was going great till i had to connect the seat to the base and had 8 screws which were very difficult to put in and very difficult to screw because there wasn't enough room to insert the allen key.

So I thought I just had to be patient and hold it all together and squeeze my fingers into the gap to insert the screw and twist it. It took me ages...at least 15-20mins to do 4 screws. But I just couldn't insert the allen key so I had to leave them untightened. I told Myles and he was like 'no, you must be able to tighten them'.

And then I sat on the bar stool and it twirled around...I thought how cool and told Myles. And he came and turned it upside down to have a look and low and behold because I twirled on it, suddenly the screws were all visible and lots of room to tighten them :) It took him less then a minute...it would have taken me less then 5mins had I realised it. I had to crack up laughing. Honestly it never twirled when i was trying to screw it altogether. So funny. Had to be there.
