I went to the sports department in Jarrolds department store in Norwich where I was suitably equipped with a shiny new pair of running shoes].

Only realised when I got in that I’d worn my lanyard the whole way instead of sticking it in a pocket. I’d probably have noticed if it hadn’t been behind the straps of a running pack to be fair. Probably.

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.
