"Gremlins"

Odd things happened today. Started as a very ordinary day, VT went for the paper and then did a few things like taking some flowers round to the front of the house etc. I did the brasses on the front door. Then I cleaned the top of the cooker, the hob part, and a piece that is attached to the hob tray just snapped off when I dried it. So that will require a new one. VT wanted to wash a light coat he has, so he got that in the washing machine, and came up a bit later on to say the washing machine was making funny noises, and the lights were flashing. So that is Kaput as they say.
Requires a phone call to the Hotpoint people. they can send an engineer round on Tuesday, so not too bad. At least it isn't full of water and leaking all over the kitchen.
VT found the booklet to go with the machine and discovered how to take the top off the hob. There was no stopping him then. He found that the sparker that lights the gas and hasn't worked for quite some time just comes off, so can be replaced...
he has just come up to say that the shelf is out of stock, and they are getting some more in, and they don't stock the unit but have given him a website for a firm that has them. So he will do that later.
Good job we stayed in today...
Tonight we are having:
Quorn Meatballs with swedish Style sauce, and mushrooms.
Boiled Potatoes 8oz.,
