Mental illness and running

You are doing brilliantly Bear, that sounds like an excellen plan. 

Wilbur the washing machine could not be fixed but I have bought a replacement - the people that came out are from a charity that recycles dumped machines. It still cost £100 but that included trying to fix Wilbur and removing him and installing his replacement ... could have done without the expense but it's much better than buying one new. Poor Wilbur I was very fond of him. 

I'm hungry had better scout for food, no sign of SOLBsis yet but she has probably been delayed by SOLBsisminimini needing extra cuddles or something or rather she has probably been delayed by her needing to have extra cuddles with minimini!! 

The new machine is happily spinning through an empty cycle, I can't hear him from the living room  

Welcome Wilbur

Has the new washing machine got a name SOLB?

Frodo - I'm not coming for the lunch; would be lovely but it's too much of a trek from London.  Not to worry I'm sure we'll meet up before long

Poor Wilbur has gone out to pasture ... the new machine doesn't have a name (yet)

Aww Bear that's rubbish, would have been nice to see you. 

Ah - me trying to multitask and I misread.

Bye bye, Wilbur

How about Wilma?

Or Willard?

(I the Winnie the Witch books, By Eck  )

I'm sad not to be able to see everyone too

I like Wilma

sounds like a plan, how exciting I'll have a new member of my weird little house family soon! I have Eric the snail, Bernard the Bee, (My bike is called Bernard's bike cos Bernard likes to ride and feel the wind in the hairs of his tummy) My car is called Scruffy Car and my Bathroom is Big Bad Bathroom Bob (so named by SOLBsismini) 

Mad? Me??? 

Never!!

Why does SOLBsismini call it that?

Bit early isn't it, or has today worn you out?

SOLBsismini named all of my rooms when I moved in. The bedroom is known as 'The Running Room' cos we ran round in circles in there before all the furniture went in

Hope you get some rest by 'eck
