Not My Day
I did not feel well when I woke up this morning; almost as if I had a hangover but I did not use alcohol last night. My Yorkshire baby came around and I went to bed shortly after she left at about 11 PM. I get these pseudo hangovers now and then but luckily they don’t last long; all I needed was a cup of coffee. So I went to my small kitchen.
And that’s when the shìt started – nothing big; just an accumulation of small nuisances. I discovered that I left the milk on the table and it went sour overnight. I’d have to drink black coffee and I don’t like it. My coffee must be like my Yorkshire baby; sweet, white and strong.
I could not find my instant coffee powder. I looked all over without success and in the end I had to settle for sweet, black and strong tea. Ugh!! I’ll drink tea all day long but first thing in the morning I want a cup of coffee or my whole day is an F-up.
I decided to check out CS before I make breakfast, went to the sitting area, started up my laptop and when I had to type in the password, I could not find the keyboard. I don’t like the laptop’s keyboard and touch pad therefore I use a cordless keyboard and mouse. I looked around and when I did not see it I used the laptop keyboard. I heckled a bit with Daniela and went to make my breakfast. I left it in the pan for too long and the eggs were too hard and the bacon too crispy. Definitely not my day!
The shower delivered no hot water and when I checked the circuit breaker it was tripped. When I tried to reset it, it tripped again. So there is a problem there; I’ll sort it out later; it cannot be too serious. While getting dressed I found my keyboard in the bedroom. Don’t ask me how it got there. I never walk around with it.
I took a walk to the nearby café to buy milk and back home, when I wanted to put it in the fridge, I found my jar of instant coffee powder in the fridge where the milk would normally stand. At least this explained why the milk was left out. At the best of times I’m absent-minded and, instead of the milk, I put the coffee in the fridge.
Anyway, except for the hot water cylinder, which I will sort out later, everything is now back to normal. It is solar assisted and I’m not in the mood to get on the roof right now. Let’s hope for no more mishaps today.
Enjoy the day and don't let trivial things like this spoil anything.

I love the way you described your Yorkshire baby
I can do with it.
Did you get the last comment that I left you on my other blog an half hour ago?
Never thought you'd find Japanese eyes beautiful.
If I were Art, I'd go for women with big blue or green eyes....they're sooooooooooo gorgeous! You could drown in them...
I think it is because it is not so common; more exotic. Scandinavians probably like them tall dark and handsome while the South Americans probably like blondes.
Cat, I hope your day will go better than it started.
I would be a bit like Pat, go back to bed and start all over again
You had your cuppa yet?
Since I had a cup of Yorkshire coffee, my day is back on track. I want to get on the roof now to see to that HWC, before it gets too warm. I think it is going to be a scorcher. I should really go fishing.
Interesting to read.
I often forgot coffee and turn to drink soybean milk ...
I like soy milk in my coffee; also almond milk; it gives it a rich creamy taste. But I don't like it with breakfast cereals so I normally keep full cream milk. I don't like low-fat milk and as long as I don't have cholesterol problems, I'll stick to it.
You used your laptop in bed to chat with me and sing me some lullaby before I went to sleep...because I chose to remain silent.
Then you wanted to be the first one to wake me up..remember?
Yes, it must be the moon. I'm not normally like this.
Noooo! I don't like black coffee. I can still handle black tea with a dash of lime or lemon juice but coffee must have milk. Condensed milk or Ideal milk is even better but I only have one cup with it and then I finish the can before I can make more coffee.
You're still here? i thought you were in bed already. Ah... but then your Arty is not around handy, is he?
I'm so pleased to see you. I've been back for about two weeks and this is the first time I saw you. I wanted to inquire about you but I can never remember your new handle. The old one is still stuck in my memory. Alzheimer's?
En dit is net sodat almal
Love your messy bun look
This is no laughing matter. It is serious.
It can be very frustrating at times but all these will end when I join him next year
En jy het niks verander nie
You mean you were here all the time?
Ek hoop dit hou hulle besig.
Thank you
Moenie verander nie
Gotta get back to work
Hope to see you more on here
P.S It's chocolate and love
It's already fixed. the one wire on the element came loose and caused a short circuit when it dropped onto the other one. The guy who installed it did not tighten the nut properly. I should have done the job myself in the first place but I don't feel like doing these things anymore. Retirement made me lazy.
I have been using a ice chest and having to buy a bag of ice everyday.
Woooo is me. never knew I was such a spoiled man
Thanks, my day worked out ok in the end. No further mishaps and I even managed to mow the lawn
But did it have to include my morning coffee? There I had to drink tea first thing in the morning like a bloody Englishman.
