It got mixed up with a batch of blue dye (woad) that was being used in a battle between the Scots and the English, and it was indecipherable!
You've only had one short walk this week, and you promised to work on a 5 mile run.

Re: Excuses
Unfortunately my daughter confined me to barracks to stop me even doing a 1 Km short walk, let alone a 5 Km walk down to the main shopping centre, even though there isn't any bushfire smoke around now.
You didn't let me know if the shortages of essentials down in the main shopping centre supermarkets has ended yet.

Re: Excuses
I'm not going to let anyone else know when the shortage of essentials has ended... I'm planning to get in there and stockpile them all for myself.
You used up about a week's worth of toilet paper in two days and they're not getting any more in at the local shops until next week.

It was for a papier mache artwork that I am doing to keep sane while I'm in lockdown, but there may be one roll left.

Re: Excuses
But now there's a freezer full of baked goods for the future when there's not as much time to cook.
You ignored the scheduled meeting end-time and needlessly ran over it for half an hour.

Re: Excuses
What's a half an hour in an otherwise empty room, when due to a flat battery, the clock stopped?

Re: Excuses
I was lying in bed, fairly straight, at that time of the day.
Why has the clock stopped at 6 a.m. ?

Re: Excuses
When those left overs in the fridge were still uneaten after a whole day had passed, I thought you had forgotten that you can't keep some foods much longer than a day before they join the compost heap, so I ate it rather than simply waste it.
You haven't cleaned out the fridge since last Christmas

But Christmas was only two days ago.

Re: Excuses
Well, what do you expect, when we are all in lockdown, when all the hairdressers who aren't still in lockdown, are expected to cut hair as quickly as possible?
You were supposed to go back to school last Monday, did you know?

Didn't you know you were supposed to come back to work on Monday?

I thought it was to be next Monday.
You didn't check what places have been opened since last week & for how many people.

Re: Excuses
All the places I checked didn't have websites, and I didn't feel like calling them up.
You forgot to put all the Amazon shipping boxes in the trash and missed the monthly collection of large trash items.

Re: Excuses
I put them in the recycling bin instead. (Very good with eco-friendly packaging, they are at Amazon.)
You didn't turn up for your shift at work and I got called in on my day off to cover for you.
(that really DID happen to me just this morning, but I won't say who it actually was, of course... )

Re: Excuses
We lost electricity during the storm, and so my alarm clock never went off.
(This has never happened to me, but it happened to my sister. Thankfully, she still woke up in time!)
I was going to make cookies today, but you left a burnt mess on the baking sheets.
