He's looking on the bright side

todayiamadaisyYesterday I did two things that I have been putting off for ages because I knew that they were going to be difficult and complicated. And it turns out they were not only difficult and complicated, but also incredibly frustrating. But they're done now so today I'm feeling smug and righteous.
Last night I watched a mystery on TV. Has a police officer shouting "Oi! Police! Come here!" ever worked at making an offender stop running away? I don't think so.
This morning I woke up and found a stray wheelie bin in my driveway. Closer investigation (that is, reading the address on the side) revealed it came from a house around the corner, so I wheeled it back. The owner hadn't even noticed it was missing, but he was most indignant about it (not towards me, I should say). He showed me that it's not possible to see where his bin normally sits from the footpath, so whoever took it had to have been in his garden to even notice it, let alone take it. I said that whoever did it tried to twist the top off my letterbox as well (because it was slightly bent) and he said that made him feel better because at least he wasn't being singled out for victimisation. So, yes, thanks for that, Man From Around The Corner.
