Modern day crisis yesterday - I’m pretty sure our microwave warmed its last beaker of water yesterday afternoon. Was heating up some water, then strange noises started to exit the machine.....followed by an acrid electrical smell. Water wasnt even warm. It’s now unplugged - search is on for a new one. Early Xmas present for our house.
I'm still using the very first microwave that we bought many, many years ago. It's the first carousel type they came out with, but I can't remember the name and there's no label on it. We bought it in the '60s. Can you imagine an appliance still working after 50 plus years?

I am loving checking the post right now. Another lovely card has arrived. This time from @Toddrickfl1 Thank you Todd :)

Yes!!! It is quite pleasant receiving cards from around the world!
Well after speaking with Tortstork this morning it looks like my egg still has some development to go so it won't be this week.

I'll be looking forward to watching info about this miracle.

We can still wear shorts and flips!!!

The nights are chilly though! Hovering around 48!! Brrrr.
Too cold for me to wear shorts! As soon as it starts getting down in the 60s I pull out the sweats!

My Mum still has hers from the 1970s. It's a Panasonic.

Wow. That microwave is a keeper. They don't make them like that anymore.
