Clearish sky, so this morning looks good for outdoor stuff. I am enjoying the slight rise in temperature, my bones like it better than the chill, roll on Summer.
A neighbour banged on my door yesterday, her fridge was on the blink and she needed freezer space urgently. So I was handed an armful of meat to store, not sure whether she wants it back or what but fortunately there was a bit of room in the meat drawer so I bagged it together and put it there. Interesting that her fridge is three years old, a massive Westinghouse luxury model, much younger than my bottom of the range Samsung which must be coming on for ten years now and sails on with never a problem. Sometimes expensive isn't the best choice. But it also reminds me that nothing lasts forever, and maybe I should keep my eyes open for a chilly bin - just in case. My careful budget would buckle somewhat under a fridge disaster, as it would for most of us I suspect, despite my WSHTF savings account...
