Bummer

Sometimes there are indicators that it might just be going to be one of those days.

I got up, had a nice hot bath, and went to put on my favourite shirt but a button popped off at the neck. Then I went downstairs and drew the curtains, and there was a loud crack, and the curtain track broke and all the curtains fell on the floor, in amongst the Christmas tree needles I hadn't yet hoovered up after taking the tree down yesterday.

"Bummer" I thought, now I'll have to go out and buy new curtain track." (And I bet they don't make this old stuff any more so I will have to buy new curtain fittings to go with the new track and spend half the afternoon fitting them into the curtains before I can put them back up. )

So anyway I thought a nice cup of tea will get me going and I can laugh at the curtains. At this point I hadn't mad ethe connection with the lost button. I picked up the kettle, and as I did so I remembered that the handle had got very loose and I had been meaning to fix it. I certainly didn't want to risk it coming off in my hand just as i was pouring the boiling water. It is a modern kettle with a silly flip top lid, and guess what, you can't quite get at the screw to tighten the handle without putting too much pressure on the lid and POP, the sockets broke and the lid fell down into the body of the kettle. It won't come out again because it is a modern kettle and it is made to be fitted that way and anyway the prongs which would hold it in place are now broken.

The handle is really good and tight though.

I guess I can pick up a new one when I go out to buy curtain track.

 Hoovered up? Is that 'vacuumed' in English?
