They come in 3?

That would explain this then:

  1. Our waterheater started leaking, which we discovered this morning. It’s being replaced this afternoon.
  2. I twisted my ankle while carrying some stuff down the steps and forgetting about the last one. Ouch. Thankfully it was my left one, and I could walk on it again after a minute or two of letting the initial pain fade away, so I could drive M to work, but still ouch.
  3. The father of the Dutch Queen Beatrix, Prince Bernhard, died this evening (Dutch time).

Hrmpf.

Update:
A bit of info on Prince Bernhard from the BBC News site.
