What's in a number?

Three?

I can hardly believe that it's been three months since I last made an entry in this blog! It seems like only yesterday I was getting excited about SnapShots!

Trying to think what I've been up to over the last three months reminded me that in the space of three days, I experienced three accidents!

First off, someone reversed into the side of my car! Didn't do very much damage, but it's always such a hassle phoning the insurance companies, the repairers and organising alternative transport while your own vehicle is off the road. Anyway, all sorted now - and they cleaned the car too, so it's quite pleasant to be in - for the time being!!

Then, woke early one morning to find the bathroom and the kitchen under a couple of inches of water. The shower had broken inside the shower unit itself and was chucking water out over the side of the bath. It would probably have been ok if the shower head or something had broken and had leaked into the bath, but life's never that simple, is it! Anyway, spent ages clearing up the mess, had a new shower fitted and decorated the bathroom! Luckily, the kitchen escaped too much damage, apart from the rug, so that bit was easier.

Of course, there had to be a third thing, didn't there! We experienced a small earthquake! At the time (1.30 in the morning) we had no idea what it was; all I heard was running water so, given the previous experience with the shower, I was convinced the boiler had blown up, or the radiators had burst!! Luckily, all that had happened was a small earthquake which shifted a mirror off the shelf above my bedside table which smashed a glass of water as it fell - hence the sound of rushing water in my ear!

Why do these things happen in threes?
