mum's out of town and the house is upside down.mum flew out of town, for singapore on sunday at noon. she left us a couple of chores to do while she was away-damm my mum is a smart woman. she wrote us a list or two with concerns over how to prepare certain dishes to the using of home appliances. i guess some things just have to be taught rather than be written down on paper.
the washing machine went bonkers today and paper didnt say anything about the machine going on forever without stopping. we had to call mum early in the morning to fix the problem. there are just some things mum does it better, like the operation of the timer on the heater or the pressure cooker.
we went shopping for groceries today. we wanted to avoid the heavy rains and thunderstorm on thursday so we decided to preponed the shopping days to today. we carry some heavy items home, like milk and juice. my plastic bags gave way from the heavy weight of the juice bottles and sharon dropped her plastic bag of biscuits. BISCUITS ! on the hard cold concrete pavement. god knows if she was arranging her hair or daydreaming when she dropped the bags.
life's pretty quiet without mum around to bug us.
