I sit here almost content.
The place is remarkably quiet. No workmen muttering from beneath the bunkers. No leaks to worry, no neighbours babies crying. All is quiet contentment. Food, such as it was, has been dealt with, dishes washed, all neat and sparkling, bar the washing machine that has been missed again. The washing machine that works, and that without leaking anywhere! How wonderful for all things to be in order, for the most part anyway. Normality returns, joy, peace and blessings all around.
The quiet results from two weeks of hassle and mayhem. Even work that still has to be done, grouting the tiles, will be little disruption. All is peace and almost goodwill.
So, what is about to go wrong I ask...?
Ah yes, going wrong brings us to Boris. Challenged on the Russian report he attacks 'Islingtonian Remainers,' for reasons that are unclear. Possibly he has forgotten his trip to Moscow unattended by security, the £2 million donated recently by 4 oligarchs, the dozens of Russians given British nationality so they could donate to the Tory party Putins money, let alone the actual report that claims Cameron, May and he are at it with Russian backhanders.
All governments are corrupt, this one has gone beyond the most outlandish African tin pot dictator and will continue to act this way until someone stops them.
One result of the work was the need for a decent hoover. Today, via John Lewis no less, I ordered this one. Hopefully, spending more will ensure a better result and a result that will last some years.
I remember my aunt having a hoover that caused us to wonder. She bought it before the war (she worked in 'Jenners' no less and got it cheap) and was using it well into the 60s. I expect it was never renewed and was there when she died. I am now wondering where it went, had our side of the family cleared the house one of us would be using it still.
One day soon my floor will be cleared of dust...

Fascinated by all the things your washing machine can do....I suppose mine can too, but all the controls come up as very small red lights with shapes which say nothing to me whatsoever.
Enjoy the peace while you can.
I used always to buy at John Lewis when mother wanted anything - super service and good after sales service too.
Fly, I tried reading the instructions but just got headache. I worked out 40% took just over an hour to do the job, so everything goes in at that. While fixing it Kevin showed he understood the way they work while we stood back amazed. Still, simple stuff for me, one button, 700 spin and I sit back. John Lewis are good, but struggling these days and may not endure outside of online shopping.
That would be a shame...their staff were always so helpful. The ladies in the clothes department would spare no effort to make sure that mother had exactly what she wanted...even did alterations while she went up to the cafe so that she did not have to come out twice...mark you, perhaps they thought it best if she did not return!
Fly, Some shops have shut, but online seems to be blooming. It's the way to go.
