Arrugh!

As Bookczuk would say.

Our twenty year old fridge kicked the bucket today. Maybe it's repairable, probably is, but it's knocked about, has trim missing and shelves loose and I think it's time for a new one. I don't want to be locked into a spiral of repair bills for a decrepit old fridge.

So I've got to go shop for a replacement. And find some ice so we can keep a bit of this stuff cold in an esky.

Blast. Just when I've already got a million other things on my plate (and credit card).

Oh yeah. It's raining.

In other news, a Columbia jacket from eBay arrived yesterday. Very practical because it's light and compact, good protection from wind and wet, draw cords and zip pockets in the right places, hood and peak. Not terribly elegant, but it's something I can squash into my carryon and have available if I'm separted from my baggage.

Ugh. Fridge shopping can be a real headache. (And a real pain in the wallet.)

*hugs* Hope things start looking up soon.

My goodness Pete, is that your number 3 disaster. It has certainly been an expensive month for you.

Is an 'esky' a bucket? Help me poor furriner.

An esky is what the New Zealanders call, in their own sweet, quaint way, a chilly bin.
