Oh dear

Moving into a place of our own means that we need various white goods to populate our kitchen. Unfortunately, the computer geek side of me has got involved and decided what I really want is a Dyson CR01 Washing Machine, just because I could wash a whole king size duvet in it. I don’t even have a king size bed. It gets worse though.

I then decided that the really sensible thing would of course be having a washing machine that I could check the status of on my computer. I mean that’s obvious right? Perfectly sensible. Unfortunately, this led to the discovery of LG Internet Family. I could have a washing machine, microwave and fridge freezer that I can talk to online. The fridge could do e-mail and internet, TV, etc, etc, and ice. This is obviously all of the white goods I needs. But the fridge is £5000, so my dreams are shattered already. I might have to console myself with merely the microwave, safe in the knowledge that I could put some food in it in the morning, set it cooking when I leave work and arrive home to a house on fire hot dinner.

    In some ways, having a networked kitchen is very cool. In others it just reeks of geeks!

    Exactly.

    I may be a librarian. But I’m not THAT geeky.

    Apparently the most accessed sites at Hartpury are on beastiality. That worries me a little.

    That story had a much more humourous tone in the paper. I liked the part where she was shelving and watching him from behind the shelves,,,
