Moments after posting the story about Wendy's toe, I knocked a mug of steaming organic fairtrade coffee over my keyboard, which promptly stopped working. That must be Karma.

Actually most of it was working, so I could continue working as long as I never typed any words containing the letters "O" or "L" - ever again.

Have just returned from Bromley (Chavsville) with a new keyboard.

Time to blow the dust off the lamentably inactive misfortune report for a toe-curling incident in our flat:

Wendy tripped over the living room rug today, snagged her little toe, and has broken her toe! She is now hobbling around London as her pinkie toe turns black - and there's nothing she can do about it.

She's booked herself on the Trans-Siberian Railway for an epic trip during September, so let's hope it gets better in time or she'll be traversing central Asia in a bath chair!
