Let me put you in the picture, let me show you what it means

You'd think that, by now, I'd have exhausted all my weird words and phrase. Or, at any rate, learned which ones of them would get me funny looks. Apparently not, though.

Last night I sent a text message which ended "... and once you've found your keys you'll be framing".

I got the response "framing?"

Er... ok. You know the drill now, don't you? Clicky time!

And not relatedly: microwaves. Why are they so complicated? I don't want to be able to set 10% power for a fish-based plated meal of 350g, I want to choose a time and press "go". Full power.

Do people really use these features? Assuming we're not talking about combination microwaves and ovens, or anything like that, does anyone do anything other than full power, go?

I'm perfectly happy that such microwaves are on offer, for those as want them, but why are there none available which have basically a time dial and a big green button?

Yes, I took a long time to admit that my cooking days are over. Hence all those kitchen electricals ready to give away. Btw anybody reading this who's in the British Isles, if you want kitchen electricals I may be able to help.

When we make the journey to our House B, it really knackers me. One of the things I ask Watson to do is to fetch fish and chips then put it on a plate in front of me. Sometimes it's quite difficult to manage using the cutlery.
