1st Dec T. Tragedy -our microwave broke in the middle of the night. We have used it hard and had it for a goodly while.
So soon after Breakfast I drive to the local Harvey Norman to get another Panasonic microwave.
They have one which I arranged to buy ($285) provided they can take it out to my car for me. I am one handed really. So They rush to take my money. And thn I wait and wait and wait. It was only when I started shouting that the bloke who ws supposed to do this actually did it. Young men servers these days all seem a bit dim nd very short on service.
So I get it home. And with the use of my trolley thing I take down the broken one and put up the new one. And it works!
Later it stops working !
I discover that I have somehow turned on the child lock ! And when this is corrected all is ok.
Lots of buttons on the microwave. Made in China I guess.
 In the afternoon I used the big shears to cut up branches to fill the Wheelie bin for tomorrow. This activity makes my legs ache a lot. The rampant bushes seem endless.
Later I put out both wheelie bins on the nature strip for tomorrows emptying. as well I cut up a large cardboard box into bits to try to get rid of it in the bins.
