8:30:
Mrs L: "do you have anything you want to do today?

Me: I thought you wanted to go car hunting? I was planning to stop off at M&S food hall for a coffee then go on to Smiths (car dealers) as we discussed yesterday. We can book your car in for (some work) at the same time.

Mrs L: No, I don't want to do that today, I don't want to walk around. I'll just do some banking & sort my emails out.

Me: OK, I'll take the bike out for a few hours then.

9:30, just as I'm getting my bike gear out
Mrs L: Before you go, can you help me find my V-pillow, it's in the airing cupboard somewhere.

Me: pulls black cloth holdall off the top shelf: Is this it?

Mrs L: no, that's a single duvet - the pillow is in there somewhere though.

10 minutes later after emptying the airing cupboard
Me: Can't find it in here, are you sure it's in here?

Mrs L: I've found it, it was in that black cloth holdall. While you're there, can you just get the hoover & hobver the carpet in the airing cupboard (we had mice a while back & evidence was still in the cupboard behind the hot water tank).

Me: goes & gets hover, hoovers cupboard.

Mes L: before you put the hoover away, can you just hoover the spare room, it hasn't been done for a while.
Me: hoovers spare room

it's now gone 11:00, I need a pee but Mrs L's just gone in the bathroom for a shower as she's had a busy morning (??), I need a coffee & I still need to get out on the bike before Mrs L finds another "CAN YOU JUST..."
No matter how smart you are you can never convince someone stupid that they are stupid.
