Gadgets and Gizmos

Today, our microwave gave up the ghost.  For some time, there has been something wrong with the button that opens the door.  And today, that developed into a weird and dangerous situation, where the microwave would start when you opened the door.  Not good.  There is a sense of foreboding to this turn of events, because our appliances rarely break independently, but in twos or threes.  So, I am keeping an eye on the toaster and the kettle, fellow small appliances.  As Shakespeare would say, “Sorrows come not single spies, but in battalions”.

Our friends, Cam and Brenda, are coming down this Friday for a badminton workshop.  So, I am back in the kitchen, cooking up a storm.  Tomorrow, we attend Dean’s graduation.  The ceremony is in the morning and in the afternoon, there is a Math Dept. reception and in the evening we three are going out for dinner.  Bin4Burger – Dean’s choice.
