I am unco

In the past 10 days I have:

1) dropped my phone in the toilet

2) on an entirely separate occasion, dropped my wallet in the toilet and

3) tripped over myself, landing in the mud.

Sadly I cannot claim drunkenness as an excuse in any of these cases. In fact there are probably more unco things I have done this week, but being unco is such a part of my everyday life that they have not even registered as memorable.

I tried to rescue my phone but in doing so inadvertently killed it. According to the web page "How to Save a Wet Phone", which I only accessed after my mistake, turning a phone on before it's fully dry results in short circuiting of the electronics.

I threw my wallet out. I did however remember to remove (and clean) my money and cards. I am unco not stupid.

And when I fell in the mud, well, I laughed out loud. So did Zoe, one of my team mates who witnessed my graceful excursion to the soggy, muddy ground. For good measure she laughed again half an hour later when she remembered my trip: "you really just tripped over nothing ha ha ha"
