In the north, if there were no spare parts, you had to wait for something to come in the mail or hope there was a similar machine at the dump. My kitchen appliances were that peculiar shade of yellow they called \"Harvest Gold\"... but it was closer to the colour of cottage cheese, well past the expiry date - which describes the appliances as well.\n\nMy stove had one of those ceramic tops - a source of interest and considerable invention. Not only did we try cooking directly on it, but I found that I could repair paperback books by running the spine quickly across the cooking surface to melt the glue holding the pages in and voila- no loose pages!\n\nThe oven was often used to dry wet winter boots - something you only forgot about once. The memory of hot felt and scorched rubber still comes to mind. Our washer and dryer worked overtime, as did the rest of our appliances, and eventually we had to decide whether to repair or remove whatever broke down. Because the future of the town was so uncertain, buying anything new meant that you might be removing it soon after it was put in. This made \"duct tape and bailing twine\" the preferred method of repair. I remember being quite miffed that the machinery at the clinic was always in top working order, but then again I could wait - and \"patients is a virtue!!\"<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lynn&#8217;s Comments: Neither one of us was adept at fixing things, although we tried.
