I time traffic lights. I find it less frustrating if I know that this traffic light takes 45 seconds rather than 15 (BTW, I counted 42 CCTV cameras on my walk in to work today ... not OCD at all) ... and I found myself counting 1, 2, 3, 4, Panther, Tiger ...

Does that signify?

Surely it's I,II,III,IV,Panther, Tiger, Lion, Maus, IX, X

Though IIRC IX and X existed only as drawings in "Signal"

Then we jump straight to P. 1000 "Ratte"

Makes for an odd counting system - a bit like the debatable "1,2,3, many" system

You're about to hang the laundry out, but first make a weather roll.

You've attended all sorts of great events like the Cup Final your home town team won, great concerts like Paul Simon, Hall & Oates, etc., but the ticket you kept and come across in your house (when searching for something else) relates to your visit to the Waterloo battlefield in 2001.
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.
