I have informed the cat that she has to lift her game: a mouse had chewed the hose going from the pump to the drum of the washer.
Serviceman arrived early, just in time for the power to be reconnected: the solar installers had to return to fit an earthing rod that their boss had said wasn't needed. Electrical safety inspector disagreed.
Washer is fixed now.
Same day service! Washer service bloke booked in, says he should be here between 3pm & 5pm. Aslo says it shouldn't be a major problem.
Wrenched my already dodgy back in getting the leaky washer into position to access the back of it. Now it hurts a great deal when I bend over, this means I'll not be able to attempt repairs myself. Have to get a service fella in for that.
Using the drain & spin feature on the washing machine to partially wring out the clothes, sheets, towels, etc that I used to mop up the spillage from the massive leak that's evident when I try actually washing something.
Calling a service wallah tomorrow. There's a couple of excellent local blokes nearby.
Replacement Kindle Paperwhite purchased, this time I bought a white one. The old is the Paperwhite 2 with a resolution of 212ppi while the new one, a Paperwhite 3 has 300ppi instead. It also has over 3 GB of usable storage space.
In the market for a replacement Kindle Paperwhite - dropped mine facedown on concrete today, now there are bright white stars on the screen, visible & distracting at night. They don’t disappear with the backlighting off, either.
No need to buy the 3G model, wi-fi is fine.
Need to work out if I want black or white body colour.
@matigo @streakmachine, in certain circles is infamous for stating, on occasion, “Inflatable cheese sandwich.”

Oh, wait, there's a Bluetooth sharing feature in System Preferences-> Sharing that needs to be checked. Now files are accepted.
WTF, Apple? Today, on a 2015 21.5-inch iMac running High Sierra, I was able to share photos from a Windows Phone over Bluetooth, yet at home, the same phone can't send files to either my 2017 iMac or 2014 MacBook Air (both also with High Sierra).
I get an error message that the Bluetooth file sharing feature is not supported.
