Blog2026 ≫ New washing machine ordered

Coming on Friday. No messing about trying to get this one fixed, we've had it a while. Washing machine technology has moved on, the old one is getting recycled, it's all good. We just have to stay in unwashed clothes until then. I took the load that was stuck in the machine at the time round pa-in-law's house, turns out he has the older version of the one I've just bought. So it does a quicker cycle than our one does now anyway. I went to Tesco for my bin food run - did not really bag anything though, just one ready meal and some bread - and there were only twenty minutes to go on the wash when I got back. I thought we might be able to watch the football while I was round there, Portsmouth losing to Arsenal in the FA Cup, but it's on a channel no-one has. We watched Michael Palin in Venezuela, interesting and topical.

Still cold out there. I will stay in and keep warm by drawing more lines on my table of run stats.

42Kph winds and rain, 6℃.
