Interesting times

Writers don’t have problems.

Writers have interesting experiences that inspire new stories.

At least, that’s what I kept telling myself as I encountered one ‘interesting experience’ after another.

Here are a few highlights of the past three weeks:

No computer for two weeks (see previous post).

Car broke down in middle of busy road.

Car in garage for over a week.

Twisted ankle.

Broken teapot.

Coffee spilt on favourite white shirt (and no, that miracle stain remover doesn’t work!)

Mysterious and very itchy rash.

Thunder fly invasion.

Leaking washing machine.

Worrying news about a relative rushed to hospital.

Worrying news about a friend rushed to hospital.

  (Thankfully, they are both now recovering at home.)

Finger slammed in fridge door.

Delays, misunderstandings, missed phone calls ...

Jammed window catch.

Objects vanishing and then re-appearing in odd places.

Bad hair days. (It’s amazing I’ve got any hair left at all!)

Hoping for some quiet, and completely uninteresting days so I can start getting back to something like normal soon.
