For once, this year I have awoken on Boxing Day minus my usual thumping head thanks to the excesses of Christmas Eve rendering drinking out of the question. But when one challenge fades, another is certain to arise. This year I headed over to Lucy’s family house for a car rally.
Now the car rally is essentially a scavenger hunt in cars, but that’s not really the challenge, the challenge in this instance is Lucy and I surviving for over an hour in a car together whilst someone else deliberately tries to confuse us. One of us may not have survived!
Sufficed to say, it was a great way to spend a day and provided me with a fantastic learning. Lucy’s father, who had organised the event, handed us our instructions sheet and told us to read through the rules and instructions before heading off. Lucy and I skimmed through them and then set off. We got through half a page of winging it to destinations we knew before we realised we were headed down the wrong road. After another 10 minutes we realised our mistake.
Throughout the instructions, turns were referred to as L and R, the crafty curator had written at the top, however, that L meant a right turn and R meant a left turn – we had been well and truly duped!
Today’s learning then is very simple, when someone tells you explicitly to read all of the instructions carefully before doing anything, make sure that you do!
