Cool & Wet.

Back once more to our usual summer weather. Grey, often wet and 11-12C (the side bar display gives the weather in town). Today I changed out of my pj's, (I'm seeing how much of the summer I can spend in nightwear), so that Linas and I could take some junk to the Ilfracombe dump and drop into Tescos on the way back.
I had to show these lovely flowers which my friend brought me the other day, they are especially appreciated as they are the only flowers I have been given. Not that I need flowers with the garden looking so good.

So today when we were in Tescos I bought myself a non-fattening treat. The colour is an even more intense purple than in the picture. Sometimes I do well with orchids and sometimes not. I bought one for my classroom and that flowered for 2 years but hasn't done so well at home.

Nothing much else happening at home. I spent the morning checking out washing machines, even looking on eBay. Buying new can be from £200 - £3,000 (Miele) so I might just go for a local reconditioned one. The one I have is an Indesit, I know they are rubbish so I don't think it is worth getting someone in to repair it. You pay at least £50 for someone just to come out. I think it's the electronic programming gone wrong as it just keeps on going on and on and won't stop. I might even let Linas take the top off so we can have a poke around because I don't think we could make it worse.
