I remember as a child going off on school camp to Guernsey. I really missed home so rang my mum. Are you Homesick she asked? No I am Heresick I replied can I come home!
Continuing the tales of woe for 2010. Yesterday I purchased a brand new clock and proceeded to unpack it very carefully. On getting it out the box i noticed that the hands had fallen off??? An hour later I managed to fix them back on. I then drilled the wall for a plug and screw (strange I went to Wilko's and asked for a box of screws. How long do you want them asked the assistant? I want to keep them i replied??) and then proceeded to lift the clock into place.... just as i did the pendulum fell off and smashed on the floor!!!! Another hour and I had fixed it only to find the hands had fallen of again. I now have a clock that tells the correct time twice a day!!! After that I sat down to a well deserved glass of red vino and bag of crisps. Chewing on a particularly hard piece of fried tater, I realised that this was not part of the bag of fried goodies, but a filling that had fallen out. Add to this a letter from the Tax man completely screwing up my pittance of income by issuing the wrong code and you can probably guess that this has not been a good weekend. My sense of humour is still intact though as you only have to compare your troubles with that of Haiti and it puts it straight into perspective.
