The boy stood on the burning deck
Picking his nose like mad
He rolled it into little balls
And flicked them at his dad.

Hi Christine, we had a similar problem, cured it with a vibration mat from Amazon that the machine sits on, aided by 2 folded hand towels stuffed between the machine and the 2 sides of the cupboard the machine sits in, worked a treat.

Lived and worked a couple of years 2008/9 in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. Winter came in November and lasted till April, May. Daytime temperatures were regularly -20 Centigrade, overnight no surprise even colder. Snow fell and never melted till spring thaw, and was scooped up and dumped in car parks. Life went on, schools remained open and kids played out at break times unless the temperature fell below -25C. Roads were cleared, traffic moved no problem, Edmonton airport remained open. Life went on. There are 4 seasons in Alberta, Nearly winter, Winter, Still Winter, Road Works. Now living near Glasgow, Scotland, where the weather is much milder, overnight temps -2, -3 daytime +1 to +3 in winter, lots of rain, occasional snow and the traffic is a shambles. Easier to deal with the extremes because the infrastructure is set up to deal with the extremes. More difficult to deal with the occasional weather fluctuations.

The ACACIA trees looked lovely in the gardens of the ROCOCO building, which is more than can be said for me in the too too tight tutu!

Hi Pen,
I managed to work out the expression as well.
The 5th Beatle, Pete Best went to primary/junior school at Blackmoor Primary, West Derby, Liverpool. My family used to live in Blackmoor Drive, West Derby, but not until he had moved on as he’s about 10 years older than me.
Small world isn’t it.
