I was fixing my new mirror to the wall. A lovely mirror. It made me look more handsome than ever.
Screw one, two, three - then screw four jammed. One very angry face stared back at me. Push, twist. The screwdriver slipped banging into the glass right in the middle of my nose. I leapt backwards forgetting it was just my reflection. My beautiful mirror, smashed to smithereens.
Breaking a mirror’s bad luck. That was bad luck enough, surely nothing worse could happen.
I’d buy another one.
I trudged to my car. Guess what – a side mirror was smashed.
I slouched back indoors, climbed the stairs and crawled into bed.

Sounds like going back to bed is a wise choice. ~grin~ Happy Writing!
ReplyDeleteTwo broken mirrors - not good. Bed it is!
DeleteSome days it's the only answer. Nice work.
ReplyDeleteI quite agree Iain!
DeleteNot a very good day, isn't it. Sleep is the only antidote to this. Good one.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely neel! Cheers.
DeleteMindsets, perspectives and superstitions :)
ReplyDeleteIf in doubt, go with superstition. Better safe in bed than breaking any more mirrors!
DeleteYep... go back to bed and start over. Sometimes that is best!
ReplyDeleteI think you are spot on Dale!
DeleteUh oh, do these things come in threes? Going back to bed might not be enough.
ReplyDeleteThat's exactly what I thought - 2 mirrors are enough for one day!
DeleteSome days that's the only way... but it's said that a broken mirror gives seven years of bad luck so that would give you bedsores (bad luck)
ReplyDelete2 mirrors so that's 14 years in bed! Ouch! Cheers.
DeleteBigger Girl once damaged the side mirror on Sweetie's car as well as her own rear lights. It was a two for one, just like this!
ReplyDeleteClumsy girl. Double trouble!
DeleteKeith, I'd go back to bed too. Let someone else be the almighty, all-conquering hero.
ReplyDeleteWell done.

Sounds like a olan Rowena!Thanks.
DeleteLooks like his whole day went bad. Simply great!
ReplyDeleteNot one of his better ones! Glad you liked it.
DeleteAs we say 'S--- happens'. I've had those days, too. Just sleep on it.
ReplyDeleteHaha! It certainly does! Cheers Denise.
DeleteNot a good day for mirrors, I guess. I loved the writing about the reflections.
ReplyDeleteCertainly not! Thank you so much Yuhu
DeleteHi Keith - hate those days ... on top of that one scowls ... probably bed was the best place - but I guess it'd have been better to push the scowl away and grin and make a joke of the two of them ... a third to turn up ... but better to get it over with! Cheers - have a good weekend ... looks warmer - Hilary
ReplyDeleteIt certainly is a bit warmer just in time for my Mother's 90th party in Eastbourne Sunday! Cheers Hilary
DeleteVery well done, Keith. I love the way the same photo throws up so many different stories. :)

Some do some don't - that one did! Thanks Susan
DeleteDear Keith,
ReplyDeleteSome days are like that.
Shalom,
Rochelle
So they are Rochelle!
DeleteOh those days when nothing goes right
ReplyDeleteAnother one! Thanks DeeDee
DeleteBed sounds like a good idea. Great story.
ReplyDeleteI quite agree! Cheers
