We empty the lint filter after every single cycle.
There's another filter down the bottom which I clean out about once a month (depending on usage). Nowhere in the instructions did it say anything about cleaning out the inside of the machine.

I'll know to do this in future though!

There are however freely accessible and contain a mountain of information. I was able to trace some family back to the 17th Century.

I've fallen for that trap too many times. It really is the pits!

I'm almost 56 and don't actually have a copy; probably due to the numerous siblings who came behind me.

I did, however buy myself a copy of the Maths Tables/Logs there about 20 years ago!

I can still remember my first time crossing The Shakey Bridge - only slightly fearful!! I survived!😃

Mashed and roast - no need for a discussion!😉

What did I miss?

Thank you!! Much appreciated!

Interesting! It hadn't made it's way to Navan by then obviously! I started in UCC in '88 and had my Cork friends proudly tell me about this drink!😊

I'm a crafter in all (well most) things woollen (spinning, felting, knitting...). I don't have a website up and running yet, so am still dependent on Meta (mainly Instagram). Have some pictures here too though!

That is funny. Was that always the case, or was it originally made in Cork?

I saw Tanora for the first time ever when I went to Cork in 1988 (and loved it!). I believe it since became available all over the country!

Here in the German countryside we have to protect our cars against Pine Martens, who like to chew on the tubes in the engines.
We have one living in an outhouse. He leaves clues when he's around!
They're a protected species, so we just call him Zebedee, and leave him be!
Not sure what he calls me!

Every so often you have a word or phrase which I've never come across before; this is one of those times!😉

Mine would say "It's the Lighted House on the Prairie"!

He absolutely deserved the red card in the game against Ireland last week - he should get another for being seen with this idiot!

Thank you!

He really is an embarrassment to Germany, both at home and abroad!
