Just for fun, if your 'doings' today (no matter how mundane) were to appear as a newspaper headline, how would it read?

Mine would be, 'OAP takes bus to town to collect lottery winnings.'

(Just £5 in reality, but better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick).

Scottish couple lose hotel room key twice in same week. Angry scenes as husband and wife blame each other. Readers are warned that this story contains strong language which some may find offensive.

Woman watches as husband and son-in-law bravely and heroically chop up very large prickly tree felled in storm. "So glad I'm a feeble woman at times like this" she was heard to mutter as she went to put the kettle on.
