SteveC amid the winters snow Dec 2020 4:21pm, 12 Dec 2020 268 posts	Quote Pin SteveC amid the winters snow I've done the opposite: took my monthly contact lenses out overnight to give the eyes a rest and wore my backup glasses for the evening before. The next morning, forgot all that, and fumbled around next morning grinding and making coffee before realising after about half an hour why I felt like a bat in an anechoic chamber.
Badger Dec 2020 4:25pm, 12 Dec 2020 13,158 posts	Quote Pin Badger I’ve done the glasses over contacts a few times. When people come into my office to talk to me and I have readers over contacts, I always take them off to make better eye contact. I keep doing it out of habit when I’m wearing actual glasses, which has entirely the wrong effect.

This morning I went to charge my kindle and instead found myself trying to charge my coffee mug. It was my third coffee of the day as well, clearly not strong enough!

=============

I was just drying my hair after a shower, I switched the hairdryer on and suddenly the bedroom was plunged into darkness, the hairdryer wasn't working either. Great, the electrics have just tripped out.

I find a torch, go to the fuse box but nothing has tripped - turns out I pressed the light switch instead of the hairdryer 'on' button.
