We thought we'd go out...

I had a slight water related accident in the kitchen, but I figured it was warm in there, it would dry up by itself, and it made a great excuse to go out and feed ourselves elsewhere. I popped a few chockies and a bottle of juice into the cooler bag and off we went.
One country tearoom later and we were jaunting around the countryside. We drove into a little village and stopped at the local Co-op where I bought sandwiches, milk, and the Radio Times. The sandwiches were for our later consumption so I popped them into the freezer bag, at which point I discovered that the bottle of juice had a leak. Fortunately the bag is waterproof (Well, except for the zip, and that, fortunately, is at the top).
A couple of hours later, with the jaunt over, we arrived home. I pulled the shopping bag out of the boot and at this point I discovered that the milk was leaking too, and had now glued the pages of the Radio Times together.
It was a slightly depressed couple who tried to get into the house about a minute later and discovered that the postman had been...
We do have a postbox, but the postman obligingly puts larger envelopes through the cat door. Today he'd delivered the New Internationalist and an LP. The LP was blocking the door. After some struggling I moved it out of the way and it was at this point that I discovered the New Internationalist beneath it. It was lying in my water related accident, or at least it had been before it soaked it up.
Wearily we entered the house and put all the bags down. Mum went to get her shoes off, I started making a cup of tea, then, after putting some of the remaining milk into the cups, I went to put what was left of it into the 'fridge. Mum had put the cooler bag down in front of it so I moved it. It was at this point that I discovered that she had put it down upside down.
Some days you just can't win.
