The modern kitchen

We arrived in Hilversum and settled into our ultra modern house. Nothing is simple! The welcome pack contains QR codes for the appliance instruction manuals. The built-in coffee machine has a 339 page manual and it took us over an hour to work out how to operate it! The front door has an automatic keypad locking mechanism which is on a timer. I can just imagine in two years time when it breaks how much it will cost to repair or replace. You may have guessed by now that I have an aversion to gadgets that replace, simple time honoured solutions.
