I had to write a unit test to verify that.

Every night I celebrate getting there; same for the morning. Never in a hurry, so long as I arrive.
By the way, 2020[^] is anything but unsightly, if you can see what I mean.

Totally overlooked that; should have known that there's always more than one meaning to what you say

I also have the same horror twice every day, but it's more of a procession[^]
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.
His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

If he's been renting it out for 20 years and only just got possession, I'd be tempted (as the family) to sue him for all of the rental income he has taken before it was his ...

Well actually he has had possession, he changed the locks - that is what the law turns on - he now has title.
The family was also ordered to pay costs which is a pretty clear indication of which way the law leans.

Today I needed some 9v batteries. My other half - the shining light of my life - told me she was going shopping and asked if I needed anything. I looked on the supermarket website and found a pack of 4 9v batteries which would fit my needs admirably. I showed her the picture and wrote down on her list the precise description.
She went off on foot and after about 2 hours returned with a bag of shopping. I asked her if she got the batteries and she dug down into her bag and produced........a pack of 4 9v batteries.
That is today's news.

Hmmm, my wife always takes the wrong Zinc type batteries instead of Alkaline, thinking about ordering a pack online now 
|

In this part of the world, it's all but impossible to buy zinc-carbon batteries, unless you actually seek them out in someplace like a "99 Cent" store.*
* A wildly disorganized store attempting to give the impression the very low quality imports it sells are a bargain.

Ah but what you did not see is herself trying to pick the best pack of 4 9v batteries off the rack. I find this behaviour astonishing, a woman will spend 3 minutes deciding which pack to take, not fresh fruit but packaged goods - weird and annoying.
