Actually, it was the other driver who was in line for three accidents, as, when he had hit me, he had already had a disagreement with a poorly cemented wall, about 20 minutes before.

Meanwhile, yesterday the gremlins got to work again. Settling down to watch TV, suddenly there is no signal. There is no signal from either of the two transmitters in the area, on either of the TVs I test. It is possible for a signal to be picked up for some, but not all, of the stations with an aerial which came with a portable set balancing on the curtain rail. so it is the aerial on the roof which is faulty. There is an extreme downpour going on at the time, so presumably the set up has a leak in it somewhere. It will be right at the source, since the signal is split between three cables on the roof, and two of them are not delivering signals - I haven't tested the other one yet. It is a Saturday night on a Bank Holiday weekend, so nothing to be done at least until Tuesday. I can get some programmes via the internet, so all is not lost, but more expense.

Maybe when the forecast sun comes out from behind the nimbostratus, things will improve.

Then, while watching Harry Potter, full of pixelling out and seized blanks, there is a huge noise from upstairs, of things falling. In the corner of my bathroom window, I have one of those spring loaded poles which support shelves for bathroom essentials. This has collapsed into the bath. The bathroom smells of my favourite foambath, which I save for best, as it is no longer available - the plastic bottle has become brittle over the uears, and has now broken. The bath is layered with other bottles - fortunately no others have broken.

I had taken it down when the window surveyor came on Friday, and then re-erected it. Apparently it was OK, but a visitor had moved it slightly, tucking the curtain behind one of the shelves, just enough to start it slipping. This morning I shall have to spend time sorting out the mess. Ho hum. I just love having to do jobs I've already done all over again.

And then, when I logged on this morning, firefox wuldn't start properly, because it was determined to add the Yahoo toolbar with all the little extra apps I would enjoy using. NO I WOULD NOT! This is a netbook with a tiny screen, so extra toolbars steal the view of what I want to see. And it's MY netbook, so I get to choose what is on it. Who do these guys think they are, hijacking other people's devices. The NSA? Sorted for now. But it still hangs around even when I've used Add/Remove programmes in Control Panel.
