Another lovely sunny summer’s day, hot, dry, blue sky, fluffy little cumulus clouds… all it needed was Pooh Bear, a blue balloon, and a suitable length of strong string.
Well, what it got was a giant size cardboard box, two stout Welsh delivery men and a new fridge freezer by Miele.
The rest of the day was a battle with reversing doors in the middle of a growing heap of cardboard, plastic film, and exploded polystyrene. [Yes, I know it's expanded polystyrene. My version is more fun.]
Reversing the doors
We arrive at the end of the day with all the packing stuffed into a large black plastic sack and our new fridge freezer glowing comfortably in a corner of the kitchen. The contents of the old fridge and freezer has been sorted and transferred across, looking rather lost and miserable in all that new space.
“That needs more stuff, that’s what that needs,” I said.
“Right.”
“I shall go shopping tomorrow and begin the accumulation of stuff.”
“Right.”
“You happy with it?”
“Too right. You?”
“Oh, yes. When it’s got a good layer of notes, fridge magnets and stuff it’ll be fine. Bit plain until then.”
“You put a single fridge magnet on our lovely new fridge and I shall do damage to you.”
“Oh. All right, then.”
