I&#8217;m going to be lazy today and refrain from spending too much time at the computer as I have had a tendency in the last month to blow up electrical appliances. To date, I have needed to purchase a new phone, new laptop and figure out why software that once worked on my Windows 7 machine no longer does &#8211; necessitating an upgrade that I would have preferred not to make&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p>Yesterday the circuit breaker tripped that supplies power to all my office equipment including computer, printer, land phone etc&#8230;.Fortunately that was just the flick of a switch to get things happening again. Then, thinking it was time to get some washing done, I proceeded to laundry to push the appropriate buttons on that machine&#8230;&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p>No&#8230;.nothing happened. Washing was transported today to be cleansed in my daughter&#8217;s machine. Washing machine fix-it man can&#8217;t come for another week!! Methinks I could be looking at another new purchase as said machine is now 19 years old. It probably deserves to be retired.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, I was interviewed by Kerrie Davies from Northside Magazine about relationships these days compared to days gone by. The topic of her article is &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/northside.whereilive.com.au\/news\/story\/did-our-grandparents-know-the-secret-of-a-happy-marriager\/\">Did Our Grandparents Know the Secret of a Happy Marriage?&#8221;<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Please click the link above to access the article.
