So that was where that bit of broken plastic came from....

Aaargh....! I've just realised exactly which bit of my food processor broke off last time I used it - the small bit of the lid that has to slot into place before it will switch on...

So there is a bowl of carrot cake mix, sans carrots, in the fridge, as I bought some ready sliced carrot for half-price at the supermarket and it is impossible to grate sliced carrot by hand. I hope the mix will still be OK tomorrow morning, after I dash down to Shoprite and get a new food processor!

It was a real 'Gaaagh!' moment.

Fortunately I could afford to go and buy a new one - which is, almost co-incidentally as it was the only one in the shop, a bigger, more robust one.

And the cake smells good - I'm just hoping it's rising all right - we shall see...

A bigger one? The shopkeeper probably saw you coming! :->

You might be right! However, the electrical section of the supermarket didn't have any in stock - they order them in. But the lady in our local independent retailer, where we have bought a lot of our things over the years, was very apologetic that she only had a medium sized one, not a small one - she thought I'd say 'no thanks' and go into town to somewhere bigger to get a small one.

I'm actually quite happy, as I think it may well be a lot more robust - and it was only about $20 -$30 more than another small one would have been.

If I'd driven further, paid to park in town, and so on, I might have got another small one - but I might still be looking...

I think you made the wise decision on that one ...
