Things that aren't there

It's funny how you don't realise you're relying on something to be there until it isn't. Like when the water goes off. Or the electricity.

Or your children disappear for the weekend and suddenly the house feels far too big and it echoes. The cats can't find enough people to sit on and the only person who's failed to empty the dishwasher is me.

And Scrabulous is broken, dammit.
