What's wrong with this picture?

Many years ago one of Dominica's Carnival calypsos went something like this:

            I’ve got me left shoe on de right foot,

            I’ve got me buttons in de wrong hole,

            And me bucket, it got a hole.

            I’m working hard, both day and night,

            But nothing’s going right.

Those lyrics sum up the frustrations of the last seven days. I depend on my broadband connection for these diary posts and lots more besides. My fiber-optic cable swings pole to pole, three miles up the valley to reach me. Over a week ago, it blew down, and it hasn't been fixed as yet. I've only been able to hurriedly make this post by borrowed means.

Back to the picture. My Chinese clock stopped working the right way up, and now only works upside down. Perhaps that's why my portrait busts of Alice and Albert are askew. Like me they've been twisting their heads to tell the time.

Just a little bit more frustration to add to the foot of the account.
