Locked Out!

I received this flower arrangement from Gaz on Valentine's Day. Beautiful Oriental Lilies with such wonderful perfume.


Gaz had also booked a Japanese restaurant in Armadale for dinner however due to some unforseen circumstances, we had to cancel our reservations.What happened? We got locked out of our house!

We were both ready for a good night out when Gaz discovered he'd locked his car keys in the house and asked me for my keys so he can open the door. Then I realised I'd also left my keys in the house. Panic!

There were no unlocked door or windows that I could test my contortionist skills. Then I found a hair pin in my bag. I've seen it done on the telly, it cannot be too difficult! I spent 15 minutes trying to pick our front lock. I reckon that if I had another hair pin I would have been successful. Unfortunately that was not the case and we had to be rescued by a locksmith instead.

My ego dashed, the locksmith arrived within 15 minutes and opened the lock in 5 seconds. From the time he got out of his vehicle, opened the lock to the time we paid the $150 bill, he'd only been there for 30 seconds.

It turned out to be a much more expensive Valentine's Day for dear Gaz that he'd expected!
