This turned out to be a lot easier than most of this type of problem in my experience. Our new house had a built in Siemens dishwasher thrown in as part of the purchase – fortunately we didn’t pay anything for it but, with hindsight, I understand why the former owner didn’t ask for anything!… Continue reading Dead Siemens Dishwasher fault finding

France through Anglo-Australian eyes moves here
My blog on blog.ca “France through Anglo-Australian eyes” has been transferred here complete (hopefully!) with all of the historical blogs and photos. All future blogging will now be from here so that when blog.ca eventually closes, there will be no loss…
NB-6L Canon battery holder
My Canon SX270HS is a great little camera but it has one real fault in my mind which is battery life. Worse, it gives indication of a failing battery barely half a dozen shots before the battery dies.

Jo was more fortunate and stayed in Paris.As usual, it was a… Continue reading A Day trip to Ecuador
Snow in Paris
This blog is a bit late since the snow fell in Paris in the first week of January. However it is topical since we have another dose forecasted for tomorrow (Monday) so the same scenes may reappear. And it gives me a chance to show my photos off…. Unusually for Paris we not only had… Continue reading Snow in Paris
Moving on…
We have decided to move on from our furnished apartment in the 14th Arrondissement in Paris. This is due to several reasons such as spending too much money for too little gain, neither of us being used to ‘only’ 55m2 of living space (more like 55m2 for the living room), no garden (look at our… Continue reading Moving on…
Cold enough to freeze your **** off
Cold enough to freeze your **** off Christmas and New Year report from Paris and England. It seems a long time since we wrote anything here apart from the last bulletin which was written ages ago but only posted on Sunday. Mostly this has been caused by the usual holiday period diversions which ensure that… Continue reading Cold enough to freeze your **** off
