Way back in the middle of sultry august, way before we discovered the value of thermolactyl leggings and the benefits of eating porridge in the mornings, i splashed out and invested in a new oven

Pretty banal, one might think, but it wasn't just any old, common or garden 'Oven' but a high-tec and high faluttin' affair

It cooks everything and anything to perfection
Or rather it 'did' cook ....

Since the 12th of december it's been on the blink

No roasted potatoes
No roast duck

No mincemeat pies for Christmas :'(

Today, Darty finally deigned to send me a replacement

Basterds

*There's a longer story to this, but i just can't be arsed to rake through it

Happy new year to every one !!

'Everyone' with the exception of the arseholes at Darty, naturally enough
