As simple as 1, 2 , 3 ?

Today we were selling some sheep at the auction mart again  , and to decide who's are going to be sold first it is normal for a lot to be drawn from a bag containing all the sheep pen numbers  . Today funnily number 1 was drawn . Well I laughed to myself ( as any number could have been drawn )  it seemed a good a place to start as any  . We were in pen 4 .
 Well the first annoying thing was they started at pen 2 ! Why ?  Oh well only 2 and 3 to go then so no long wait ? No not so .   2  and  3 were sold then our pen number 4 was skipped over and selling re-started god knows where out of site .  I mean how hard can it be ? Somehow 1 became 2 and 4 became ,  well who knows . Is nothing simple any more ? 
  Incidents like this annoy , baffle , exhilarate and make me laugh all at the same time .

To spicy for ya ?

Why oh why are people so obsessed with chilli's ? !    When buying food I am actively having to seek out variants that are not a " spicy hot option " .  Whats happened to the normal flavours ?  Even fish fillets are covered in chilli peppers . Once you had to seek out these " hot " options , now you can hardly escape them . This obsession with " spicy " flavour must stop . Maybe the quality of our food has gone down and is being " spiced up " ( sorry ! ) with hot options . Maybe....
