turpsIt was a lovely sunny if cold, day today so we headed off to the beach to blow the cobwebs away and have a walk. It felt good to stretch my legs, and after walking the prom together I let James wander back himself while I walked on the sand and dodged the waves a bit. It was so beautiful, sunny and crisp with the sun low in the sky.
After we went to the independent coffee shop we like on the beach front, then did a bit shopping before heading home.
Tomorrow I'm going to the vets with Kayleigh and mam's cat, then to the cinema on the afternoon with James. The weather is supposed to turn overnight to snow/sleet, so it looks like getting out today was good timing.
The washer is working again. It was the socket that was the problem when I looked properly I could see it had blown and damaged the plug, so that needed replacing but once that was done the washer worked fine. Which was a huge relief. Right now I'm using an extension to another socket because no way am I using the one behind the washer again. It's on an outside wall, just along from the outside tap and I wonder if water from that is leaking somehow as the washer stopped working after I'd been using the outside tap to clean the litter trays. It shouldn't cause problems like that, but obviously, something is, so I intend to get an electrician out to check things over asap.

That’s good!

It's about a dog that gets separated from its owner and then takes two years to walk cross country to get back to him. As I said, predictable as anything, but still a heart-warming ending.

That's excellent news! But yes, getting an electrician to check over the wiring in your kitchen is definitely a good idea. You don't want to take chances with wiring!

It was great news, but I'm still checking things out.

Date: 2019-02-01 06:18 pm (UTC)Yeah, the electric socket really needs checking. Blocking it off is fine for now, but a professional needs to have a look.
