Wonderful! (I'm very glad my mixer on a high shelf is just a little, lightweight Sainsburys one.) Spouse's "clavichord' reminded me of someone who informed me they had had a cafetière inserted while they were in hospital.
Haha gosh I wish my retired spouse took responsibility for so many domestic chores. He’s willing but I’m definitely the chief. We got a Kenwood Chef as a wedding gift 31 years ago. Still going strong but it has a permanent position in the kitchen & doesn’t need to be moved about!
I love this. Your description of the recycling arrangements had me in fits of laughter. I too find that Spouse manages to fully grasp the intricacies of all the different plastics while it completely mystifies me.

That's hilarious about the cafetiere. I have plenty of these stories from my days as a medical secretary!
Brilliant! So funny. You created a very visual picture here. Hope the bread was good!
Thank you! And, yes, the bread is always good. Too good!
I loved this piece. So funny!!
Thanks so much, Nicola!
Brilliant! Loved this. You’ve brightened up my Wednesday morning. 🤣
Thanks, Liz! I'm glad. x
Get a cat. Call it Norman.
Tell your dad this.

The Kenwood Chef is bigger than our kitchen, though.
Thanks for this Fran, your humour and writing style, particularly the dialogue, had me in stitches. Another word for the etymo-whatsit?
Thanks, Jayne! I think etymo-whatsit is a superb alternative.

Thanks, Sheila! Happy to entertain!
Corker this week! Had me chortling! (There's another widely under-used word)
Thanks, Malcolm! I hope you're impressed by my use of a sporting analogy.
We too have inherited my mum's Kenwood Chef! You're right, they're ridiculously heavy.
I was not expecting it, hence the near-death experience!
When my dear late spouse was first diagnosed with a brain tumour, I kept accidentally referring to his autopsy rather than his biopsy. Ouch.
Oops!
Catching up with your blog. This one was a doozy! Thank you for the chuckles.
I wonder if people had more bones named after musical instruments they might be more composed?
Boom boom!
