Today a prematurely-deceased king-sized mattress has been first of all photographed by a representative of the firm who sold it, then taken to the Tip – it fitted into the back of the car just barely. We had already replaced it, but might possibly get money for it on the insurance.

Has the Noo one unrolled to sufficient luxury?

The new one is pleasingly firm and has no gurt holes in the middle to fall down; we gave it the requisite three days to breathe before sleeping on it.

I am an inveterate mattress- turner - it’s the way I was brought up, but my mattress is a ‘no turn’ one, so it gets turned around rather than over
When I replace it, I shall expect the Noo one to unroll itself & then sing me to sleep…

This one had been turned every which way but it still disnitigrated (a genuine, hallowed typo from the ancient days) in one place and along one side. The new one is a don’t-turn-over type, but it will be rotated on the side that is the upside.

But does it sing you to sleep ?
We should be told…

I have had a rush of blood to the head (!) & taken down the curtains in the back part of my through lounge to wash them
They are 'Normous, & I’ll have to clean the also 'Normous window now
Where’s the Vodka?

Raspberry vodka at the ready… I have to take back to John Lewis a rather expensive stainless steel table-knife which has a strange blemish on it which I cannot understand nor explain…

Back sort of on topic…
Produced a very satisfying (to me) debunking of an ill-informed and rather patronising Grauniad article and - having taken care to check Ts & Cs and so forth - posted it to the letters page. Automated acknowledgment reads, in part:
We publish few letters longer than 250 words – if your letter is much longer, please shorten and resubmit it.
Wouldn’t that be the sort of thing you’d like to know before submitting - or indeed writing - a letter? Perhaps, say, when checking the Ts & Cs?
It’s the same logic that prompts train companies to announce what train you’re on just after it’s pulled out of the station, when the information is of absolutely no use to anyone.

Thank-you FantaFish
I’m sure that JL will replace it
A propos music, my Austrian Pop Star friend has just had to cancel his sold-out concert in Hamburg tonight, as they have had a violent hailstorm, & more is predicted
I can’t do LinkyDoodahs, but the pictures were abit violent, to say the least

JM&J, Carinthia doll, don’t waste the vodotchka on window cleaning. Vinegar does at a pinch, dahlink.
It is very important not to get the two confused.

I could make suggestions, mind… which would of course not be applicable. JL is Not What It Was. Although when I was wandering round it in desperate quest for what they did not have a couple of days before OH’s funeral, and was altogether a bit mad, the staff were immensely and beyond the call of duty kind.

My experience is that they have lots of things I don’t want, and very few things I do. But they’re still a reasonable choice for white goods, I reckon.

That is a phenomenon not confined to JL, my dere Spadger. In fact, I think it can be filed under ‘The Human Condition’.

The last time I went to Bluewater I got about half-way round before I saw anything that interested me enough to go into a shop.
All right, my tastes are a bit outré these days. But really, how many clothes does one spadger require?

I don’t know, and nor do they, in fact we are all Baffled (as a regiment of surgeons), but they gave me a replacement even though the Radford range has gone up by 75p per item since January. I was a bit shocked by that, to be honest: looks like profiteering to me.
Still; replacement = achievement, I feel.
