Bloody Alter egos

Ok, no idea how or when it happened, but Hippie's alter ego took him over recently. Hippie only knew about this when Hippie returned to being Hippie; slightly damp patch of hair, but no other indication anything happened - well, some small indication, but that's covered below.


Hippie's washing machine improved in its performance recently: 5 minutes for a whole laundry cycle!

Yes, Hippie knows you would love a machine like that too; very quick & efficient... only this super performance came with one small issue: the machine filled with water, gurgled twice, emptied the water, and was done.

Laundry was a lot wetter than when it went in or typically was, and looked rather snotty too - the detergent lingered on the laundry - but if you consider the laundry was wet & introduced to soap, and therefore it was washed, all very efficient.


Some sort of misunderstanding with the retailer of washing machines meant the old machine had to be removed from its residence - as in the pipes that are hidden away from regular people, sitting in their concealed place that if they were female & in a public place in France they would be illegal for concealing themselves (why France would make it illegal to be a washing machine part & not be allowed to be concealed is beyond Hippie, but then so much about that place is) - before being taken away.

To confuse the issue further, the new machine was unpacked only in part (some parts needed to be removed with some sort of "tool" [what is that thing in the picture?] that doesn't come with the machine), but not installed. What were all those extra costs for, if not to install the bloody thing? Hippie can barely turn a faucet on, let alone plug a washing machine in!


Well, Hippie returned to his body this afternoon, and while finding a patch of hair slightly damp (there appears to have been a small discharge of water sprayed where the machine's water pipe connects to the mains when the pipes (or whatever the bloody parlance is for connecting pipes) weren't properly tightened, so perhaps this is could be the cause), Hippie otherwise has a new washing machine installed.

No idea how the old one was disconnected without flooding Hippie's house; no idea how the new one was installed without flooding Hippie's neighbourhood; it just happened, with no involvement or voluntary activity from Hippie, just Hippie's alter ego.


Hippie is going to drink some (more) beer now, not for Hippie's pleasure though, just to thank his alter ego. (And if Hippie's alter ego subscribes to this blog, cheers from Hippie.)

Bloody 'ell. You should let me take over more often Mr Hippie. You didn't know I had it in me, I mean you, me, whatever.
I'm thinking you take the afternoon off, drink some more (beer- that was obvious but stated none the less) and enjoy your new Alter ego installed shower!

And to close may I say how handsome you/we are! Love you Hippie.
