DISHWASHERS AND MIAMI WEATHER

 

Hello my lovely journal friends.......I wasn`t a very happy bunny first thing this morning.  I got up, had breakfast, fed Jake and went through all my cleaning rituals in the kitchen.  I loaded the dishwasher and the washing machine.  I just happened to look back to the dishwasher and saw it wasn`t working.  I checked the power and the light was on, no problem there.  Yesterday it worked fine, no funny noises or anything untoward.  I wasn`t too worried because I have insurance cover on my kitchen appliances...........or so I thought.  I checked the documents and found they ran out on May 12th this year!   I couldn`t believe it, just my luck.  The annoying thing is the company haven`t sent me a renewal form as they usually do, so guess who will be getting an irate phone call on Monday morning.  I will have to pay for the repair myself and I`m not happy at all!  I think it might be the ignition switch, not the motor so hopefully it won`t cost as much.

I was reading our local paper over breakfast and apparently the gypsies have been moved off the illegal site in Upton Park, leaving the council with a clean up bill of £12,000.  I didn`t know but the travellers go there every year if they can gain access,  much to the annoyance of residents whose gardens overlook the park. The main reason why people buy those properties is the stunning view of Windsor Castle in the distance.  Now, all they are overlooking are piles of all sorts of rubbish.

The graphic I have posted is what I would have loved to have done today. But it`s far too hot and humid for spending time in the garden.  According to the cheery radio weatherman, our temperature and humidity are the same as Miami.  The problem being that we are not in Miami.  If I were I`d be on holiday and sitting in the shade with a strawberry Daquiri ( I not sure of the spelling) to keep me cool ! A nice balmy, English summers day would do me fine.  I can`t even take Jake out, bless him, he really can`t stand the heat.  He has spent all morning in the shade of the magnolia tree.

I was going to take some garden photos to post here but what flowers I have are looking sad and limp, although they are being watered regularly.  I think it will take a couple of years for these new plants to look any good, but at the moment they just look rather sad under the merciless sun.

Jim and I have been invited to a 40th birthday party tonight, but I`ve decided not to go as none of my female friends are going and I wasn`t looking forward to it anyway.  Jim is now going with his mate Mark.  They are both working on early shift tomorrow so they will only stay until about 11pm.  I am perfectly happy to stay home, watch a little TV, and sit up here messing around with the PC, and eat half a tub of coffee icecream!

I`m now going to crawl away and melt very quietly while trying to read your journals!  Have a lovely day all of you and I hope it isn`t too uncomfortably hot where you are. Take care and bye bye for now :-)
