I was flicking through a Sainsbury's magazine today. So much of it seems irrelevant now - recipes to tempt jaded palates,- recipes using esoteric ingredients- places to go on holiday -cruises - competitions to win a holiday
I feel curmudgeonly over the design of tumble dryers. Our new one came out of isolation today, and is the venting sort, so I tried fitting the plastic hose pipe to it and fixing the other end to the wall flappy thingie. Had to cut the hosepipe in half as only needed about a foot and they'd supplied a metre. Managed eventually with OH's help to get one end securely fitted to the dryer but had to resort to Ducktaping the other end to the wall exit in order to keep the hosepipe in place with no air leaks. Surely someone could design a better connection! And why does it have to be at the back of the machine!
OH is champion "parker" here. Lost count of the wing mirrors, front bumpers, rear bumpers, entire rear doors, side doors, bits and bobs have been lost, scratched, re-arranged or severely bent thanks to his "talent" for spatial awareness.

I can't believe we're still doing this putting the clocks forward nonsense. It's not looking good for me getting to bed before 1am by which time it will actually be 2am.
If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.

You don't suppose he will lead by example do you?
