    Day after tomorrow, my delightful wife will land back in Manchester, at silly o'clock in the morning, after a fortnight in Cebu, to visit family and attend the Novena at Sto. Nino Cathedral and the Sinulog Festival.

    While she was away, I had the kitchen floor redone completely (Joists, floorboards, lino and re-installing the various cupboards). Eaten whatever I fancied, had a few cans of cider and lager, a few shots of Grappa in my afternoon coffee, a whisky and coke or two and some Tawny Port while sitting at the computer desk reading news or watch uchub.
    Spent the last couple afternoons shampooing the hallway and living room carpet, and I must admit that the small VAX washer I bought from Curry's, was way better that the Rug Doctor washer that I initially rented from "The Range" (item which didn't work properly at all and got a full refund after showing photo evidence of the epic fail).
    So, now, I wait patiently at home, pondering if I should go and get a supadupa fresh ribeye steak for supper or just raid the freezer for whatever lies within that takes my attention and stimulates my appetite..

    I did miss her............

    thanks--will do.

    my main apprehension is my wife's son. He will be living with us--to begin with anyway. Ive never had an 18 year old living with me before--dunno how that will work out. I asked my wife last night what plans she has for him. She just shrugged and replied "dunno".

    Any chance you could post a photo of the Vax washer, Dom?
