Conspiracy Theory....

It would appear the microwaves have been talking amoungst themselves. When I first started dyeing with koolaid, our microwave blew up so we got a new one. I used the new one for dyeing with acid dyes, so thats gone down to the cellar to be my project microwave, and we got another one on thursday night. This morning, after all of 36 hours in the house, beeped all night long then blew the circuit breaker. Hmmmmmm.

Has our house become the stuff of microwave legend? Do mummy microwaves tell their little baby microwaves tales of the horrible house where bad microwaves get sent to be steamed to death in a cloud of tropical punch flavoured vapour? Are we in the midst of a microwave revolution, where they'd rather top themselves than help dye another skein of bluefaced leicester? If the replacement microwave goes the same way, I may have to consider setting up some sort of microwave benefit scheme to bribe them into compliance. Heh, appliance compliance. God i'm easily pleased.

In other news, Leo moved into his bedroom tonight, hoorah! 8 months in with us, thats twice as long as we had Thomas in, we've just been so slow in decorating Leo's room. It does not bode well for the rest of the decorating we have planned!

I am becoming more and more attracted to this new Robin Hood fella, even with the dodgy stubble, he's a fine figure of a man.

Back to the knitting! Speaking of which, there a nice plain kids hooded tunic in this months Knit Today magazine that I want to do for Thomas, and I want to do it in hand dyed BFL aran, soooooo i'm going to have to do a guage swatch. *shock horror faint*
