Minor catastrophe has struck as we have managed to have the microwave and the cooker (stove top and oven) both stop working on the same day, what amazing luck.
Both have an independent power supply, (240v and 12v) so there is no link between the two, just rotten luck. cold baked beans loom worryingly.
So most of today was spent trouble shooting why the cooker/oven wasn't working. Thought at one point to have it all worked out, then it quit again. V. Frustrating. Of course the motion was quite rough today, and being on port tack meant it felt like we were continually walking / working up hill to get to it. And it was a pink cook day as well, humpf. a little sympathy would not go amiss right now. sob.:(
Microwave is a sealed unit, so little can be done. Swearing doesn't seem to have any effect on it. Bizarrely, there is still some power to the turntable, which insists on turning slowly all the time. If it would listen to me, I would tell it to stop mucking us around and either work properly or don't show any signs of life coz it just gets everybody's hopes up.
Anyway, I'll stop complaining as 1) there is no benefit in it and 2)I have run out of tissues...
