painting

in the heat of summer,

the time to

start painting.

a weekend project

that seems

to be

turning into

a lifestyle.

staying in the

to keep cool.

a new kitchen scale needed to be purchased,

the other shopper in the household

armed with a department store discount

coupon

selected this model (there was not much of

a choice).

the colour is cheerful though not my personal

preference, but the size is compact and easy

to store.

an unusual feature is that the scale has a

timer (who would have thought) and it

beeps rather loudly. an annoying

and unnecessary detail.

miss m the watchful kitchen companion

in the household finds beeping noises

distressing and starts to bark.

more noise in the kitchen.

the scale beeps when turned on and when

functions and units are changed.

fully featured, but not miss m

and user friendly.
