I have heard it said that things come in threes. True!
First the minute hand dropped off the grandfather clock - a family heirloom dating back some 200 years. Connie is calling tomorrow to fix it.
Then the switch controlling the chair lift snapped - and I will have to wait till I can be here all day for the engineer to call - looks like Thursday.
Finally, the printer is playing up. I am advised that I need a new ink unit and if that fails, a new printer.
I tried to discuss all this with Socks but he was off mousing.
