(EXPLETIVE DELETED)!!! The seal inside the washing machine is mouldy (I don’t even want to think about what the implications are for me underwear.)

The little hatch that releases the detergent packets into the dishwasher doesn’t open during the wash cycle. (Which explains the slow-building gut-wrenching pain that has me sidelined.)

And now the display on the microwave stops for part of the time and flickers for the rest. (I have been using a stop watch to time things that go in for a warm-up.)

Fortunately the gas range top still sparks-up and lights with not much fuss! Good’ole fire ; it hasn’t let us down since the year dot! (What’s the worst thing that can happen?)
