Monday 16th February - I do love a

great flashmob;

Waltz no 2, Shostakovitch 

I've never had the luck to experience a flash mob... one day, some day...

Meanwhile we're half way through February, it's been sunny all day, and we're set for over 8 hours of daylight now.

I've been designing my 'cooking area' this morning before we start creating next level plans with the architect overseeing the whole project.

My cousin's dishwasher is actually two pullout drawers under her draining board - wowsers!

You can get them with just the top drawer or with two drawers.

If you have two drawers they can be operated separately. So we'd fill the top drawer with a small load, no more stooping down to stack and empty the bottom rack. But there's always a cost... mega ££££. One can dream.

(My elderly neighbour tripped over the open door of her dishwasher, gashed her leg and 

scroll quickly away now if you are of a sensitive nature

 and there was blood everywhere. So I'm always careful how I move around ours when it's open.)

On a more cheerful note;

Einsame Blumen, Schumacher op 82, played by Mitsuko Ochida.

Apropos of nothing at all, my mother always wore 'Mitsuko' perfume...
