MOTHER FUCKING MICROWAVE!!!!


My wife fried the other one, unintentionally (I think), by putting something in that still had foil attached. It was an almost empty peanut butter jar with some small ring of foil still attached to the seal. She was making some quick, throw together granola bars to be drenched and thus bound in melted chocolate and peanut butter, then left to cool and congeal.

It was actually kind of fun to watch.  It started sparking inside the microwave, making a hellacious sound, then the power was overloaded and the lights seemed to dim. Then something inside the back wall of the microwave "POPPED"  really loudly. NO more microwave. 

When she opened the door the plastic jar was on fire.




Anyway, a pisser for the interruption of her culinary efforts, but funny to watch the appliance bite the dust.  All better now. A new one is in place.

I think I'll just go hide out in the shed.

I made a bid for fun on Marktplaats on a box with spinning related stuff. Could not see all that was in it, but recognised one thing that was absolutely worth more than what the former bidder had suggested, and that I would not mind having.
So, just for fun I offered €15, it was overbid the day after. To my amazement, I got it.
There is loose weaving stuff in the box, that I cannot use, there are display plates for all kinds of rope (shop? school?) and there was an umbrella wool winder, a cake winder and two niddy noddies, all complete and working well. Three spools that do not fit my spinning wheel, but may fit one of someone I know.

Kid and I had fun this morning, using the stuff we could use.

I should bid for fun more often.

Last week I offered a price for a spinning wheel, because I saw a trader had made a ridiculously low bid. And I made one higher bid once after that. Then two traders were taking over and the price sky-rocketed. Hyke is no rich bovine, so I let it be.
Could use a second spinning wheel though. Kid picked up the virus.

Yesterday I got an email, it is mine, if I want it, for a price lower than I offered. And it comes with four bobbins in total, a simple lazy kate and a set of carders. All that for €40.

The price had gone up over €100 since I last checked.

It will probably need some TLC, but the model is one that can be taken apart and put back together again easily.

Now only have to think on how to get it here. No car and such.

Also, seeing how I might not be able to make it to the conference that Geert Wilders is attending in South Australia, I decided to get to know the man by reading his book. I'm still waiting for this to arrive in the post but what small amount I've heard from him on facebook I approve of. Freedom of speech isn't just for people who have something to say.
