I put some washing on over night and, just as I was about to switch my light off, there was a loud clunk from downstairs and the light flickered.
I went down to see if everything was ok and it seemed like the spin cycle had just finished, so i thought that I'd just spin it in the morning and that would be fine.
This morning, found that something's gone kaput and the washing machine won't spin or release my clothes.
Since I'm moving, hopefully in the next few months, I'm not sure it's going to be worth buying a new one.
TIMING!

I had a washing machine scare a week or two ago - a washer-dryer actually, quite old but has been brilliant. At the end of the dryer cycle, scary smell of burning. It went away, but when I tried it again, it didn't work. I found the fuse in the plug had gone. It's been OK since I changed the fuse, but I still have the feeling something is wrong, and I hover anxiously, waiting for it to blow up/burn the house down. I suppose I'd better buy a new one. Yawn.....I hate machines.

One sock came out of the wash last time as though the top had been chewed by the dog. It is one of the few pairs of socks which has not developed a hole in the ankle. Mysterious, but less worrying than Mary's problem.

Well, it's still dry here, though tomorrow three generations of ladies of the house will be walking, jogging and running the Perth Race for Life followed by a family barbecue.
Bet it pours...
(And I've yet to make a final decision on which of the family it is who'll get barbied.)

Oh, I'm disappointed with that season finale of Dr Who. The direction was wonky and the soundtrack was paced all wrong. They had a brilliant rhythmic motif from the Master's drums that could have run throughout the last two episodes and they almost completely ignored it. Instead, we had rather clunky synthesised numbers rubbing up (without any logical progressions or sufficient breathing time) against pop songs. Grrr. The way that everything refers only to this current series rather than the classic series gets my goat, and I just think that Derek Jacobi is ten times the Master that John Simm could ever be. Bah. It was ok though.  I did enjoy it, but I just think that it's a bit of a waste considering what they could have done. |

With you on the drekky music all the way, hh: though the last 10 seconds (cleverly repeating the last words of dialogue from the end of last year's series) bodes well for Christmas.

I found the messiah-type references about the Doctor a tad overwrought and, well, a bit silly really. I hope they do better with the Christmas special than they did last year. I like Catherine Tate but she was just so miscast. Ron, I am deeply impressed by your powers of rememberance! What were the final lines from the last series? They seem to have disappeared into the leaky seive that is my memory.  |

I am grumpy as we have just returned from a very peaceful week away in the Azores on holiday. Lovely and hot and sunny there and an efficient airport with no problems. Landed at Gatwick to inefficient staff, pushy (fellow) travellers and rain. Got back home today to find a neigbours tree has fallen into our garden so we've been frantically using the chain saw and shredder to clear up the mess. AND I have to go back to work tomorrow.  |

Very justifiable grumpiness. Jonathan. What horrible things to come home to - though I'm impressed that you've got a chain saw. I'd have to pay someone to clear up a fallen tree.

I have a lovely mental picture now of a very grumpy Jonathan doing a Jack Nicholson impression with his chain saw. |

Actually, it's quite good fun using a chain saw!
We've chopped up about 10% of the stuf that fell down and there is still about 70% left to chop into managable bits that can be shredded. It would be good if the weather forecast would be good for the week and then I can do an hours chopping up every evening after work.
See the Happy room for other (much better things)!
