APPLIANCE CATASTROPHE


First 2 weeks of 2001 and it seems we are in for the "Year of Electrical Trouble"
First the Microwave decides to go on a life support machine and stop turning.
Not to much of problem in all honesty, but then this week the Sky TV signal went.
No TV?
A disaster for Marie who depends on programmes like Jeremy Kyle, and Bargain Hunt to get her through the day.
No amount of re-aligning the dish would work.
Then as a last resort we remembered that we had a spare Sky Box in the cupboard, and thankfully that worked.
Normal service resumed.

Then as it comes in threes, the cooker died a death from old age.
Delivery of a new one was strangely quick for France.
