It's been one of those days for me today,

First thing this morning SWMBO wanted to go to Bunnings for some plants and fertilizer, One look at the sky and I said, we had better get a wriggle on as they were forecasting rain and a possible thunder storm here in Perth today,

So we hit the road and about two km from home, "Bang" there goes the back tyre in my patrol, just my "flammin luck", we recently travelled right around the Block, something like 30.000 km and not a bit of trouble, now here we are, a stone throw from home and stuck on the side of the highway, well we weren't stuck very long with the first spots of rain, from a very black sky, I had that wheel off and on went the spare, ( luckily still inflated after 6 months )  it didn't take long before we were on our way again but, wondering if the Pension would allow me to buy a new tyre next fortnight.

I grabbed the goods from Bunnings and headed home, after getting home, the Dear-one decided to do some washing, five minutes later there is a scream from the laundry, racing out the back I find the missis hauling the washing out of the now dead washing machine, the inner bowl had come a-drift and had nearly  come through the casing of the machine,!!!

Back into the Nissan up the road ( with-out a spare ) past Bunnings to a washing machine shop,  now back home again with a new machine and $350.00 ( after a hard fought discount )  poorer,

They say bad luck comes in three's,    Sure hope that is only a saying
