Had a temperature of 38.6 degrees C last night, but I reckoned I could manage my 4 hours, and then have a rest, as my afternoon pupil is ill. I tied myself to the dishwasher during break time, as it was my turn to load the dishwasher, and I sometimes forget to do it. I don't actually use the machine, as I wash my mug by hand, but I'm still on the rota. Anyway, when I forget, there are dark murmurings from certain colleagues, the ripples of which reach me eventually, so I decided that today I would NOT forget!

We've 'suffered' long enough! Here's our shiny new dishwasher, ready to be installed in the new kitchen. It's also serving double-duty and holding up the bucket which is catching rain water coming through a pipe that goes right through the roof. Little does it know, that pipe is about to become the vent for our sink.
