Bubbles n bolts

I can't remember if I mentioned YD's purchase of a bubble machine in the lead up to Xmas but yesterday we got some new bubble mixture and WOW it was a bubble wonderland! SO many and in so many colours -the camera just couldn't get a good shot tho so you'll have to imagine!

Meanwhile, in the kitchen, our dishwasher has been slowly going downhill.....
over the past year the pipes have clogged several times,
then the door lost its slow opening gadget so it just drops open now when you undo it
(which may have been caused by small children standing on it when opened)
and now just this past month the door lock has loosened so it will dis-engage enough to stop the wash cycle.
YD was very proud of himself when he announced he'd fixed it and we'd get some more life out of it yet....
