Because it's the first morning of the long weekend ...

And more likely the warmest day of the year so far?


Possibly but now you're getting 'colder'...

I think "Occam's Razor" applies here. If you think "Murphy" (or
"Sod"),
you've 'Nailed it!' :-)




Nah, Sod's got more self-control and belief in the value of deferred
gratification. She'd have had the leak in the heating system appear on
24 December, just after the OP's dinner was served.


You're quite right. Silly me, it's Murphy's function to ensure that if
something can go wrong, it *will* go wrong. Sod just takes care of the
scheduling.

I should have rephrased it as "If you think "Murphy" *and* "Sod"... :-)
