.... slushy, what's a slushy ..... checking youtube, aha, hmmm, nice idea ..... what on earth is a thermomix? (the site for the Swiss is all about small and practical, the site in English is all about healthy, healthy ... figures ) .... oh gee, blimey, who needs that?! Okay, in a one room flat, might be handy ..... Stiftung Warentest measured more than 90 decibel at it's grinding mode (that's louder than a jackhammer) .... hmmm, considering the neighbour lives very close in a one-room-apartement ...
.... never mind. Slushi, huh? Yeah, will have that tomorrow.  | | | | | Don't forget: |

The first class part of the train had someone on the phone, which disrupted my netflix session over my headphones.

Take from the Green, put back in the Red. When the Red machine is full, run it and swap the magnets.

The trick is not to have enough dishes to fill two machines.
