Twas on a Tuesday Morning...

The washing machine man came to call.. Up early this morning to get ready for the arrival. Did the kitchen floor, vacuumed the downstairs, mopped the bathroom and VT cleaned that, and big general tidy up. Mostly moving magazines off the floor. The house is lovely and tidy now!!
Said washing machine man came at 2 O'Clock as he said he would and had a quick look. About half an hour later it was fixed, it was a loose connection apparently and that would have cost £100 !! We had taken out an extended guarantee on it so nothing to pay. It was the end of a real problem week for us with all sorts going wrong.Looking forward to a bit of a respite now.
Got a load of washing on now to test it, it is surprising how the washing accumulates, and we haven't had the bedding to do this week yet.just general clothing.
Funny today..we have noticed a very strange smell in the house over the last day or so. VT said it was some leeks that I had bought on Monday, but I didn't think it was. it seemed to happen every time we opened the fridge, the room smelt like a rubbish tip! Anyway VT went down to make our coffee this morning aqnd the scent was really strong. He said it was the Broccoli in the fridge. Not out of date or anything but the smell!! No good..it had to go..neither of us fancied eating it...so it ended up in a plastic bag and he took it to the bin on the way to get the papers. Took a very good blast of the Yankee candle room freshener to get rid of it!!
Tonight we are having:
pork ribsters in gravy and mushrooms and apples,
Mashed potatoes with leeks,
Carrots and Peas. ( Not..tenderstem Broccoli)
