She tapped my earlier post, made LapySang, washed, got dressed, put a load of dark laundry into the machine, read the gas and electric meters and submitted those on-line, washed up and then received a call which meant that she had to stay in for half an hour.
She booted up laptop and was reading the news on-line when it made the noise "blink" and the screen went black. Dear Readers, it crashed and will not turn on again.
So tomorrow morning it is going to Raja and if he cannot fix it, she is going to take it back to Peter Jones, from whence it came, and they are going to refund her the money back. It threw its' toys out of the pram last week and she is not putting up with a machine breaking down and having to be tweaked by Raja every week. Thank goodness her elderly iPad still works! Boring!
On a happier note.. her frugal ways have paid off! Our gas bill is remarkably small considering the last three months we have had and certainly her habit of switching off lights works.
We have had a very late lunch / early supper. Poached chicken wings with black Thai rice in a stock sauce with turmeric root together with lots of garlic, carrots and shallots that she dug up on Saturday. She is extraordinarily tolerant of my messy eating habits and put a large towel over her bed, because she knew I wouldn't chew bones over my dish but would drag them off to the other end of the bed!
After I had chewed the bones and wiped Beaky all over the towel, it went into the machine for a quick rinse and will dry overnight on a radiator. She does try to keep this home in some sort of order.. she also tried to do ironing today whilst waiting for this delivery, but the iron was so shocked at being made to work, it went "phut" and stopped as well! So now we need an new iron and a new laptop! The iron will be cheaper, that's for sure!
Ah well.. such is life! We hope your life is 'ok' today?
