Came back from two weeks away on holidays to find a series of small things wrong, domestically. Australian Post who were meant to have held my mail, can't find the mail they held, having no idea where it is, where to start looking for it, or who to ask where it might be. I want to get the $22 back from them that I paid them to hold the mail, but I'm more concerned about the new credit card that is probably among the held mail. I guess all of the letters they held for me and ultimately have lost, could end up at the dead letter office.
Also my set top box, aged VCR and timer for my central heating were not working when I arrived home after a fortnight away. Another power plug was playing up & all this made me think there had been a power surge, which I mused might have been due to all the solar panels feeding in too much power to the grid or just the coal generated power protesting against the carbon tax. After two days of set top box and VCR on the blink, I rushed out and purchased a new set top box, DVD, VCR combo and a surge protector for $380. When I brought it home, the apparently dead set top box and VCR miraculously had come back to life, meaning I'd wasted $300 on the new stuff from the Good Guys. Knowing the Good Guys were probably good guys, I asked if I could bring back the DVD VCR set top box combo and get a credit. "Maybe" was their answer - they need to inspect the pristine new equipment and see if is still sufficiently pristine.
Today, on a nearly completely unrelated topic, I saw a church in the Canberra suburb of O'Connor with solar panels on the roof in the shape of a crucifix. The power of the Lord, I thought to myself. Maybe Julia needs to pray at this place for a lift in the polls,while I could try and enlist support from a higher force to stop the surges and bring back my mail from the dead letter office or whereever held mail gets held up.
