Wot....no coffee???

The day has not started well!

Having woken with a start to the sound of my alarm clock, a particularly horrible noise that I consider should really be outlawed, and having scrambled out of bed very bleary eyed as the result of an hilarious night on Skype that went on way into the wee small hours...... I discover we have no water!! Zip, zilch, nada, not a drop.

The water board have no idea why at this juncture but promise service will be restored soon, despite their not yet having traced the problem, hmmmm, excuse my cynicism... and I have the big and final pre-holiday laundry to get done somehow!

But worse, much worse than any laundry issues, no water means no coffee, this is unthinkable, or it would be if my system had suitable levels of caffeine racing around it to enable me to think at all!

I'm beginning to believe Fletch when he says I'm jinxed, thus far the kettle, microwave, washing machine and amp. (though the amp. remains subject of some 'discussion') have all disintegrated on me, the Internet connection was as flaky as hell until recently and the power in the flat trips out if I use more than two items at once!

In fact there have been so many incidents of electrical failure in just six months that I have lost count and last night another was added to the list, the cooker hood extractor blew up on me in a reasonably spectacular manner!

Now no water!!
