My New Favourite Excuse

If it works for the train companies, why wouldn’t it work for me? Let’s give it a go:

‘Due to planned engineering works, I’ll be late for work tomorrow.’

‘Due to planned engineering works, my lesson plans aren’t finished yet.’

‘Due to planned engineering works, I really need to have that extra cake for dessert.’

‘Due to planned engineering works, this blog won’t be updated for several days.’

Yeah, I think that just might work…
