'World's Most Useless Things' Day
It's been one of those days today, where the fact that so many things are just rubbish and don't work (like jugs that don't pour) has been the theme.
Object number one: My shower: Had a shower this morning (we have recently moved into this house), and it's one of those rubbish ones where the water is either scaldingly hot or bone-chilling freezing. It took about 20 minutes to find the right balance, but the whole point of showers is that they're quick. Oh, and in case you wondered about my personal hygiene, I have been having baths up to now!
Object/place number two: My local pub. It's one of those that seems to open when they feel like it and serve food when they feel like it. I was told they don't open at lunchtimes during the week, and close on Sunday evenings. We went for drink last Thursday night, and there were loads of people eating, so we decided to go and eat there the following Wednesday night. Got there, but 'no we're not doing food tonight, sorry'. 'So when do you do food', 'sometimes, it's best to try and book'. Grrrr there goes the sponteneity of popping out to the local when you don't' feel like cooking! As it's a holiday today thought I'd go for lunch today with my kids (it's a Bank Holiday, they're SURE to be doing food, aren't they), so I walked over just to check. Not only was it not doing food it wasn't even open!!! So the accolade of the World's Most Useless Pub was granted.
Mind you, they do serve San Miguel on draught, so it's not all bad.
Object number three: My washing line. Now I'm a lazy tumble-drier sort of woman, but as it's a nice day thought I'd hang up a few things on the newly installed washing line (it's a rented house and the landlady provided it last week). It's one of those retractable ones so it's not always in the way. The trouble is, it doesn't work!! I pulled it out, attached it to the opposite wall, hung up a towel............and it fell to the ground! There's no mechanism on it to hold the line up(as in to stop it pulling out too much) once it's pulled out. Unless I'm being a complete idiot and just can't see how it's done, it is yet another useless object.
So that was today, not useless all in all, but plagued by useless things.
