That one last cup I leave in the french press. So lonely, neglected. I feel bad so sometimes in the evening I feed it a spoonful of cocoa and whipping cream. It perks right up!

The calcium in the water here kills all coffee devices. I just use a pot. Really its more like I just quit buying coffee stuff once I found an unbreakable, insulated, double filtered french press.at least you don't leave it to cook on the burner for a few hours extra.

I had to cancel the order because they said. They'd made a mistake. I can't keep messing around with my home. This has caused havoc
I ordered another one off Ebay. Bosch, reconditioned, grade B.
It's sold via an alleged good company. Fingers
this won't cause problems.

I woke up before 3, got up at 3:30. Blah. I'll have to cram morning chores including Buford and Ozel's morning date. I have to leave at 9 to go pick up my SIL for her PT. If she doesn't have anything else to do, I'll be back home around noon. Maybe I'll take a nap.

Aren't there any home appliance stores (with a good reputation) that deliver and install washing machines near where you live? Stores that provide a written warranty for machines they sell.I had to cancel the order because they said. They'd made a mistake. I can't keep messing around with my home. This has caused havoc

Out of curiosity I did a quick search on home appliance stores in the UK, and Argos came right up (amidst others) so it's easy to see how you got scammed. From the ads they look trustworthy - appearance doesn't tell the whole story. Bosch sounds like a reliable brand, so hopefully this will work out for you.
Often older appliances are more reliable than newer ones too. I bought my washer new back in the 1990s and it still works great. Anyways, good luck.

I have had 1st breakfast 4:30-5AM PST. Almost time for 2nd!
With the restored view through tree branches into neighbor's kitchen window, I knew it was time — Cleaned the roof gutter yesterday afternoon. It's always a more time consuming chore than I expect, these 2nd cleanings. The first cleaning is around the 1st of July. Of course, I expect leaves in the roof valleys and got those out. Still, it seems that there was a lot more standing on the ladder with the usual moves, placements, ups and downs. Sore right foot this morning matching the lame left leg.
hobbler to go out to freezer and bring gobbler in for fridge defrost.

Just finally finished up cleaning off the pine needles and leaf debris off the roof. Since we have had a couple serious wind storms already. And all that moss that grows on everything that doesn’t move up there on the torchdown MBT roof and the cement tile roof. Used lots of bleach to kill that stuff. By the way I have a new fav sprayer. It’s rechargeable USB and easy sprayer adjust size of spray and distance. Easy peasy no more pumping the handle it auto sprays at the touch of the button on the handle. Made my life a lot easier with all types of spraying .

I have the opposite problem here since I got a new standing seam metal roof 5 years ago. Snow comes flying off this roof and would crush and kill any living being that was underneath. The front and side doors are safe enough because of overhead porch roofs that funnel snow away from doors, but the back door is another matter.
I have to move ramps for the dogs from the summer configuration (alongside the back porch) to the winter configuration (out the front) every fall. Ramps are in 4 parts and each part weighs a ton. This year I actually thought about maybe hiring someone to do this heavy lifting from now on. (In summer the ramps go down to the right which is blocked off by wire barrier with orange & pink surveyor tape.)
My arthritic 14 yr old dog, Mabel, can't navigate stairs anymore, so the ramps are a necessity. Chicken dog Mabel won't use these ramps unless they are fully 4 sections wide, so this leaves only the narrowest staircase alongside the ramps for (also arthritic) me. Little 15 yr old Bella (on the right in the picture) is as spry as a puppy and happily bounds up and down ramps and stairs alike.
At least I don't have to worry about debris accumulating or growing on my non-stick roof!
