First thing this morning, the knob on the hot water tap in the kitchen broke off. I tried glueing it back together, but as soon I put pressure on it to see if that had done the trick, it came apart again.

My luck got worse as I went into town and bought a couple of DVDs. I lost them somewhere along the way, possibly in the supermarket where I shopped for groceries, in the place where I stopped off for a cappucino, or on the bus home.

I wonder what more can go wrong...
