Goodbye Old Friend!

Nobody human but our old faithful microwave which we have had for about 35 years. Finally went on the blink last week and there was clearly nothing to be done but replace it.  I bought it on a bank loan all those years ago for our first Christmas at home with our jane when she was about one. Bought a table and chairs and a video recorder also.  Table we still have but the video long since gone!.

It was a Sharp microwaveso since it had been so good we were looking for a replacement. Vin located one which had the bonus of having a grill also but and it was a big but it was not available in any of our local stores. Then he eventually found one in St.Helens and we booked that for a click and collect and went to get it yesterday.  left at about 11.11 and was back by 12.15 so not bad going. Vin knew his way there and we got there quite easily. Traffic a lot heavier than we have been used to must be getting back to normal.  When he collected the microwave which was incidentally paid for on the Nectar points so was free! the lad asked him if he wanted a warranty with it. Vin said we had the last one for 35 years so he wouldn't bother thankyou. The lad thought that was funny.

Home and installed,  much smaller than the old one, which is better, takes up less room and leaves more space for the coffee machine.  Jessie of course had a lovely time settling into the box that it came in went to sleep in it at one point!

Jane's cats are wandering round her house a little bit more now which is good for them. She was talking to me last night as she went into her house then i heard her say Hello Babies! Aaah, it is lovely when two little furries greet you when you arrive.  Her little house is lovely and she seems to be settling in really well. So glad she bought that one and not the one with the cellar that she had been looking at, that would not have been safe for little cats. 

 Jessie waiting to run when Mark came on Monday. As soon as the doorbell goes she scoots upstairs to go under the bedin Jane's room. He has been coming for a long time but she still does it goodness knows why!
