A fresh start? Or a series of unfortunate events?

Everything is breaking!  My MacBook broke, as I wrote, and then my iPhone became an iBrick.  Yes.  It's useless.  And right now (with my brain in its' current state) there's nothing that I can do about it.  And (if I can continue with my whinge) my coffee machine broke down and my home phone is not working well at all.

Wolfie suggested that I look at all of these things as a fresh start.  A new beginning.  But I'm struggling.  I can't possibly replace everything, so I think it's more about a lesson in "letting go".  I've always been quite attached to my "things" and I think that I need to learn to live without a few of them.  

On the good side.... my lovely Mummy and Daddy had my car repaired while I was away.

Some of the things that I observed today about being home:

1. drivers don't keep left unless overtaking
2. we drive an obscene amount of 4WD's
3. I live in a beautiful city
