On Sunday afternoon I found that my hot water system appeared to be borked. By which I mean I had no hot water. Further investigation led to the fuse box, from which I could hear the electricity. This is generally considered a bad thing. So I went to bed. Handily nothing caught on fire during my slumber, and as another plus it seemed that it had settled down and allowed the hot water system to produce me some hot water. So I had a nice hot shower. A few phone calls later and an electrician was on the way to fix it. Normally I’d have investigated the fuse for the water myself, but I don’t trust audible power. Four times is enough times to be shocked by mains power. Turns out the whole fuse housing was burnt out anyway, so there was nothing I could have done to fix it. On the plus side of having all the power in the place off to replace it, I could reset my microwave clock.. it had gained nearly five hours in the time I’ve had it, which I think is around six months. So now it begins anew its quest of confusing the occasional visitor that comes by my place with its fantasy time keeping… and I can have warm showers again.

Of a slightly more concerning note is the not inconsiderable hunk o’ cash that’s been charged to my credit card recently.. I’ve no idea what it was for, and its still just saying Authorisation Only. This isn’t the first time it’s happened though.. and every other time it has turned out to be something legitimate, so I’m not concerned enough to be putting a freeze on the card just yet… but I’m keeping a close eye on it until I know what it was for. Usually though I do remember what it is within two days.. not something that’s happened thus far. Still.. maybe I bought myself something nice as a surprise.. you never know..

I read somewhere today: “…Tiffany was certainly not my cat. And by that I mean that you can never truly love someone else’s cat. Cat owners, you understand what I mean.” I’m not sure that’s entirely true, but never really having been a cat owner (ours only lived for about two years, and spent most of her time outside or avoiding being patted.. she was supremely brilliant though) I’m not sure I’m qualified. Thoughs?
