ellarienMy dishwasher appears to have died; at least, it did half a job of washing the last load and failed to drain completely. So that's yet another request I have to make of Maintenance ... and in the meantime I have three days' worth of dishes to hand-wash in a tiny kitchen with effectively no counter space and a double sink of which neither half is quite big enough for a dishpan.
Our mailing room informs us that the Post Office may return mail with addresses longer than five lines. Given that my sister's has six in conventional British format (Name, number/street, village, city, postcode, country) I found it hard to believe that this should apply to international addresses, but apparently it does, and one is supposed to put postcode and city on the same line. I just hope that the Royal Mail wouldn't then send it back for being improperly addressed, as they have fairly firm views on the Postcode getting its own line. (I also hadn't realized I'm supposed, nay, required, to put my full first name, not just the initial, in the return address field. I even have several sheets of labels lying around with the initial.)
The dewpoint dropped below 50F for several hours this afternoon, signaling that we're moving into the post-monsoon phase of summer. It's also hotter than it's been for a while, but dry heat tends to be somewhat more bearable.
I need a better DVD storage solution. I think the best use of the available space would be a long, low cabinet with drawers, to go in place of the apology for a coffee table that stands beside the recliner and from under which I just belatedly removed two crates of yarn oddments and abandoned crochet projects. Failing that, boxes or crates to go under the table would work, I suppose.
