IRON SHOPPING

 I'm off to Briscoes today, to find a new iron.

I saw one online late yesterday that caught my eye:

IT'S CORDLESS.

Perfect.

I won't trip over a friggin' cord again will I?

The only thing that makes me hesitate is that it's $200.  And I go through irons on average every year or two, due to shit getting stuck on them... though not normally the carpet!  😂😊

HOLD ON! Scrolling....  I see that I can get the same iron somewhere else, here in Hamilton, for $149.00.  Might have to go there instead.

And... that is all we have on our agenda right now.  

I'll be back later...

11 am:  And we are home after doing a grocery shop, and an 'iron' shop.

Why are there so many irons on the market?  It makes is so confusing!

But I tend to stick with a brand that has never given me any trouble (Russell Hobs), so that narrowed it down.

I was super keen on the cordless one, and after ummm'ing and ahhh'ing for a while, I went for it.

ABOVE:  Charging, ready to go.  And it has a 2 year warranty, which is excellent.  

I felt like scones for lunch, so they are in the oven as I type.

Cheese scones and date scones, just enough for Stew and I.  

ABOVE:  SPOT THE DIFFERENCE.

Sitting in the lounge, heat pump on, hot pod on me knees, watching Accident, Suicide or Murder.

My sorta programme.  

Rather contented right now.

ABOVE:  Look who visited us this afternoon!  Most unexpected, but so very lovely to see them.

Griffin and Tash were over here to attend a friend's birthday party.

ABOVE:  Marley decided Tash was someone she rather liked too.

So cute.

No modesty from Marley!

ABOVE: We matched.  It was just wonderful to see our Dude.  He's such a lovely young man.

Sadly they didn't stay very long, but hopefully we get to see them again soon.

Now... I'm thinking we shall have Taco Bell for dinner.   So in a couple of hours that's where we will be.

I read several reviews of the Russell Hobs Cordless Iron online.  NOT one of them was negative, and that is why I bought it.  

And once I've actually used it for a while, I can tell you exactly what I think of it.

6.14 pm:  we just had an excellent and delicious dinner out at Taco Bell, Taupiri.

It would be awesome if they actually had a shop here in Hamilton... but at least on the Expressway it's not too far for us to get there.

Home now and looking forward to a nice quiet evening, watching the telly, playing Free Cell on the computer and chillin' with Stew.

CATCH YA TOMORROW
