The first change to our weekend routine will be to get the Sunday papers delivered and be able to read them in bed with a nice cup of tea. We might need to go the whole hog and get a Teasmade, if they still exist, but for the moment the tea's maid is me. (Don't you know anything, look here, they do exist -Ed).
Look, I know it's a small thing (it's about time someone told you - Ed) but one of the issues that we're constantly having to battle with is the (lack of) time difference. After eight and a half years of living one hour ahead, as it were, we had got so used to watching programmes an hour later than broadcast in the UK that we need to stop and think before deciding what we're doing. Thank god I've got Jan to tell me what to do (and when - Ed).
I had a Teasmade once. After a fortnight of half a cup of lukewarm dishwater every morning, apart from being woken up well before the alarm by the thing's hissing and gurgling, I binned it. Couldn't even bring myself to inflict it upon my worst relatives as a regift.
ReplyDeletePerhaps they work a little better, twenty years later !!
I'm with Jean... I remember having one years ago and all the gurgling ahead of the scheduled wake up time made it unusable!
