Scribblings from the Mitchy Side

Washing machine is all sorted. The company that Curry's use for their service call outs is excellent. As promised, engineer texted me between 8 and 9am to give me the 2 hour arrival window. As it turned out, I was first in the queue, so he showed up at 9.20 :D 10 minutes later, he pronounced my washing machine fixed - a loose connection at the top of the drum. Probably got knocked waaay back when it was first installed, he thinks, and all the subsequent spinning has gradually worked it loose. All fixed now though, that shouldn't happen again. One test cycle later to confirm all was well and he disappeared again. Barely in the flat 15 minutes. If only all service calls were that painless :)

Talking of painless, well, actually, just pain - watching the cricket. First session and a bit was lovely, as England skittled Pakistan for 99 runs. Our batting though - oh dear. Oh deary, deary DEARY me. We're currently 65-3, which is still better than Pakistan were at the same stage but we haven't even taken the lead yet and 3 recognised batsmen have gone! Pah!

I occasionally wonder why I seem to enjoy watching sports that make me sob into my keyboard so much :P
