My neighbour brought me a lovely bunch of tulips as a thank you (in advance) for feeding his cats. I don't mind doing it - they are quite funny cats - but it does mean that I have to be presentable early in the morning. I haven't yet succumbed to the temptation to go round in my pyjamas.
You'll all be glad to know that we have a mended and quiet washing machine. It has now had a new dial, a new element and a whole new drum and bearings. Apparently the first thing that goes is normally the computer panel - so watch this space!
They have the look and texture of the lovely inside of chocolates containing cherry truffle! Don't know what made me think of that, must have chocolate withdrawal! Nice focus.
