I just watched the first three episodes of Desperate Housewives back to back. Why, yes, I did borrow the DVD from the library on a one-day loan today because the d/l is too slow and I'm sick of watching on a teeny computer...
It's not as intensive as it sounds; they split it up into three DVDs so I just have the first 2 discs, 8 episodes and I can return it before they open at 9.30 on thursday which gives me two nights if needed,
Of course, I've got House tonight, Bones tomorrow...
The oven has broken, element spitting out flames, so we're having fish and chips as the new element will take two days to arrive. I rang the shop to see if they had one, was assured they would, and told to bring the old one in as my description of 'a wiggly S' wasn't clear enough. I had to ring them back; unscrewed it, tugged and it's attached with wires which wouldn't come off and I was scared of snapping them...
They probably thought I was a ditz (he asked if I had a friend or neighbour who could help :;rolls eyes::) but I redeemed myself, ha, by suggesting sweetly that rather than cart along a filthy, grease-encrusted hunk of metal, I could simply photograph it with my digital camera and bring that.
We studied the two pictures earnestly and he didn't have one after all. Guess most people don't keep an oven 9 years these days...
That's the trouble with emigrating to a country with different electricity; we had to buy all our electrical stuff again when we got here.
Which means it's all breaking at once. The microwave stopped revolving last week...
And I'm enjoying DH. Surreal and slightly off-key.
