stilldreaming Feb 2021 5:10pm, 1 Feb 2021 515 posts	0 stilldreaming On today's run I took my gloves off (as my hands were too hot) and tucked them into my leggings. A few miles later I had a minor panic thinking that I'd lost my gloves, when I remembered that I had put them back on.
Velociraptor Feb 2021 5:15pm, 1 Feb 2021 51,316 posts	0 Velociraptor I made tea for eL Bee! and coffee for me. Carried eL Bee!'s tea across the room to the fridge. Got milk out of the fridge, walked back across the room and put milk in my coffee. I haven't drunk coffee with milk in it for more than 40 years.

jabberknit Feb 2021 2:50pm, 2 Feb 2021 3,856 posts	0 jabberknit Unlocked the door to go out for this morning's run, then looked down at my feet, still encased in my slippers. Not sure how my dodgy knees would have liked running in the old M&S mules.

I glanced back and realised I had forgotten to place a cup on the holder and I now had no coffee and a big mess to be cleaned up.

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.
