Half a Year of Bad Luck to Date in 2022

 2022 is a blinding year for bad luck to date for me.

a. Been ill for most of the year

b. Got older quicker it seems

c. Hail ruined the crops in my garden

d. My laptop died

e. My mobile phone broke down

f. My neighbours downstairs decided to be noisy this year

g. My car battery went flat for no reason

h. Got fined for using summer car tyres in the winter

i. Didn't get given a chocolate Easter egg for Easter, (just given to the kids)

Many other things went wrong due to bad luck, too many to mention.

On the positive side it means by the law of averages, the rest of the year should be good luck!!

Plane Flights - Ridiculous Re-scheduling

I booked a return plane flight to the UK and the return journey from Manchester was due to leave a 21:50 in the evening. All well so far. But, there is a clause that says that the flight time could change. Little do we think that this could happen to us. 

Blow me it did. The flight now departs at 04:30! I lose almost a complete day and have no way of getting to the airport without the use of a taxi at this time in the morning. The taxi fare would be more than the airfare. Big, big inconvenience and bad luck from the point of time lost, substantial extra expense and tiredness from no sleep that night.

All completely out of my control with no plan B possible with new flight without astronomical costs.

Printer Ink Cartridge Problem

My printer ran out of ink last week and a replacement cartridge needed to be replaced.

No problem, pop down to the local office supply shop and buy one. I turned up and found that they don't stock the model that was required and have no intention of getting stocks of that model in. So it was off the the big electronic superstore only to find that they don't stock it either!

My last option in Yambol was a small computer store and was quite pleased they had a black ink cartridge in stock. So, off home to fit it in my printer only to find it wasn't compatible and deemed useless. the problem was I had opened the sealed packet and no refund possible, 33 leva out of pocket and no still without ink in the printer.
