in The potting shed
Whilst batch cooking, I got to wondering: why don't they invent a domestic appliance that quickly cools food in the same way that a microwave quickly heats food?
I'd buy one.
What invention would you like to see?
In London. Keen but lazy.

    A machine that not only folds the washing, but also puts it away!
    A good hoeing is worth two waterings.

    A way to stop time (just once a week) so that I can clean and tidy the whole house in one go and still have some of the day left on a weekend. Doing it bit by bit after work each evening makes it feel never ending. I get to the last room and then it’s time to begin again.

    I gadget that takes a picture of your garden, deletes the mess you have made (twice) and arranges the plants and shrubs you have, then adds more as options, it will have a magic fast forward button so you can see the now and future look.

    Photoshop / Pixlr? Good for creating fantasies.
