ah, that’s better
Thanks to a helpful Freecycler I now have a working oven. Very simple really, the sensor that goes into the flame had got loose and wasn’t in the flame any more. So, after giving the whole thing a good clean (you do NOT want to know how vile that oven bottom was!!!!) it was a 2 minute job to mend!
Wayhey!
Whilst I was at it I shoved all the oven racks adn any other removable bit in the dishwasher on the longest wash cycle and declared that my domestic duties discharged for the day.
Other events today….
by way of a change Aprilia watched HP 1 (after watching HP 5 naturally…. sigh) There was also the last of the Sarah Jane Adventures with a plot twist so limp even Aprilia thought it was. How on earth can re-booting the computer make the cyrstaline life-form at it’s core suddenly re-boot and have a new purpose in life?
She spent a couple of hours working through the pattern tile sheets that came with our tiles, seemed to have an almost meditative effect on her, bit like knitting does on me I suppose.
I sorted out all the dry washing, put mine away, piled Duke’s on his side of the bed and Aprilia’s in her clean washing bag which she empties every time she runs out of something. It’s not a perfect system but it beats argueing about her putting it away!
She has just come to me with a little love letter which I will photograph and put on Flickr. It’s the first time I think she has sat and worked out how to write something without any help and you know what? It’s lovely. Makes me feel like home ed is really working (and we shall ignore the fact she should be asleep in bed…..)
