Carolyn CordonAnother visitor for the kitchen
July 18th 2009 11:43
Well, my best friend still hasn't been to view the kitchen, but tomorrow my mother is coming to have a look. She, obviously, has seen what the kitchen used to look like when it was installed at my brother's place.
I'm interested to see what she thinks of it. She knows how much I didn't like my old kitchen, and she knows how much I love my new kitchen. I saw mum at my brother's place today. We dropped in to pick up a monitor my brother said he'd give us after he'd seen what our computer monitor was doing.
It wasn't good, what it was doing, and his company are getting rid of monitors to upgrade to flat screens, so they were going to get chucked out. Lucky me. I'm enjoying having a monitor again that doesn't go crazy every few minutes so you have to wrestle it back into submission. I don't know what is wrong with it, I just know something is wrong.
Our tech-whiz son said he's have a go at fixing it. Fifteen year olds can be so arrogant sometimes. If he does manage to get it going properly again, that will be a good back-up. I'm not sure if he's capable of fixing it though, and I don't know if he'll end up trying. It doesn't matter at the moment, we have a monitor that works, that's what matters - I know I wouldn't have the faintest idea how to fix it.
But I got him today when we got home with the new monitor. He set about hooking it up so my husband could play Diablo II on it (Graham is not patient enough to work on getting our old monitor working, I am).
Anyway, son hooked it up and it wouldn't work! Oh No! He and his dad talked of going and getting another one and both went somewhere else in the house. I set about hooking the monitor up, and Hey Presto, dumb bum mum had done it - score one to the mother!
I tell you, that was a good feeling. Techo son may be good, but I'm not bad myself!

I showed Mum the big drawers for saucepans and bowls, the drawers for herbs & spices, potatoes & onions, miscellaneous kitchen spoons and small gadgets, and the other drawer for munchie things like seaweed snacks. Then I showed Mum the cupboards with pantry items, cereals, glasses, cups, large gadgets, plates and everything you could think of.
And even though I hadn't done a particular clean up for Mum's visit, the kitchen was clean!!! I am still keeping the kitchen cleaner than ever before.
