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...
Ouch, I can see how that accident can happen .
ReplyDeleteI had to go off and look at dishwashers - who knew there were so many different sizes. I'm a newby to owning one and had no idea.
My parents were early adopters... we had a dishwasher in the mid 60s, I reckon.
DeleteThat Shostakovich was awesome. I'm always envious of those caught in a flash mob - I can't imagine how it would feel.
ReplyDeleteI nearly always cry just watching them
DeleteWhen we were doing all the customization of our new house being built we kept one thing in mind. When looking at the price of an option consider how much it will affect you in daily life. In our case we decided that although the LeMans corner pull-out was a rip-off price (about 5 times the price of the IKEA equivalent) it wasn’t something we could put in later and it would irritate us on a daily basis so was worth the money to avoid the later frustration. Other items that were cheaper were rejected because they could be done later if we changed our minds or would be of minimal benefit so weren’t worth the money. Everyone makes their own assessments of what something is worth to them so you can ignore other people’s “must haves” and “why on earth would you spend so much money on thats”.
ReplyDeleteSome really good points there, Lynda. I like hearing what other people's 'must haves' are as it adds to the information gathering phase. And 'cost-benefit' thinking is well worth it. Thanks
DeleteLoved the flash mob! I've never seen one either.
ReplyDeleteI have a slimline dishwasher as the kitchen isnt huge. I researched various makes and bought the best one I could afford, particularly looking at noise levels.
Noise levels... good point. Adding that to the list.
