Worked till 11:20 ish and decided too hungry, put baked potato in microwave for lunch. 1 more cuppa before lunch, made tea up to the leave tea bag in and let it brew stage. Popped back to desk to finish the thing I was doing... 11:45 thirsty. Found half made tea. Thought I might nuke it and drink it anyway. Opened microwave and found potato. Put potato on for another couple of minutes, opened fridge for cheese... Found soup. In the midst of this, I also popped upstairs to find some washing to put on, found some other things that should be downstairs, came down with empty laundry bag...

leaguefreak Mar 2021 8:41pm, 20 Mar 2021 9,228 posts	0 leaguefreak Couple of weeks ago used google maps to find directions and couldn't figure why it said a short journey would take an hour til I realised it was set to walking and I was driving. So, last week needed some directions, remembered the above and that I was going to drive there so needed to avoid making the same mistake. Opened Google apps on my phone, clicked on Google Drive and started searching.....

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.
