More instructions - 21:51
In the vein of those oh so important
product
warning
labels
(eg, on a packet of nuts "warning: contains nuts"). Tonight I had a dinner at
Tilleys with some of my friends,
celebrating my impending birthday. Rebecca and Ben gave me a coffee grinder
(very cool, now I have to decide if I want to keep it at home or work). The
instructions with the grinder include the helpful suggestion "3. The coffee
mill cannot be switched on until the cover has been places.". This brings to
mind the
travelling
gnomes, you may not use your coffee grinder before the cover has been on a
world tour.
