Today has been really weird.
Coffee machine would not turn on, had to be power cycled at the mains.
Washing machine would not turn on, had to be power cycled at the mains.
A USB charger decided to break.
And now the dishwasher is being silly as well.
I need to get my Fluke mains tester back maybe...
