desperanceNotes to self:
* If you decide to load the washing-machine for an unusual second run while you're out in the evening, it would be a good idea to remember actually to start the machine before you go out. Otherwise you will come in half-cut, decide it's a bit late but you might as well start it anyway. Then you'll tease Mac with shreds of ham while you prepare dinner, and he will dance with frustration and scrabble his paws across the control-panel as he always does, only this time the machine will actually be on and the buttons he presses will make a difference. And lights will flash, and you won't know what's happened, and everything will take so long you will go to bed before it's finished and not know till morning whether you still own any clothes.
* If you're planning on any more broken windows, it would be a good idea to keep the whole ones cleaner than they are. That poor brokenwindowperson couldn't make his safety film cling to your mucky glass not nohow.
Note to manufacturers of washing-machines:
* If you're going to programme your machines to flash codes of warning lights under certain circumstances, it would be a fine idea if you actually recorded in the customer manual what those circumstances are, what the flashing lights mean and what to do about them. Otherwise, you might as well not bother, y'know? Baffled customers will just go to bed in the end, wondering if they will still own any clothes in the morning.
