Chilled.........

 
We started this week moving the fridge and freezer out of the kitchen.

Fortunately Daughter and Son had planned one of their big walks together on Saturday. They always start early so by midday they both arrived here.  

Hubby had already prepared for the move by covering the worktops as they had to lift each one over the top. 

He made the space for them outside 

And cleared a nice wide route through. 

I had already sorted their contents into the drawers or onto trays to make it easier for them to be emptied. 

Daughter and I stayed chatting in the lounge and out of their way so Hubby and Son could move them then plug them back in in the garden. 

Yes the space needs a good clean but not as bad as I had expected. 

Then with our ingredients Daughter cooked us eggs on toast and Son made the tea. 

Only a few days of remembering to bring inside what's needed without multiple trips out in the cold (glad that area has a roof at least). We kept a cool bag on the worktop so some bits could stay short term. 

Tuesday the new ones arrived 

Hubby did the leveling and install

Aarrrrggghhh they look so much smaller and out of place and I need a solution. 

With very limiting measurements I managed to find this incredibly narrow shelf unit, on wheels and cheap enough to try in case it didn't fit. 

It did fit, snugly, and now the gap has a purpose. 

Thought it time for a health update. It was a bit daunting starting the cancer pills again on the 1st January having felt so much better with the three week break. Now it's been a whole month there are side effects but thankfully all manageable. I have agreed with my specialist nurse to lower the dose slightly by only taking it on Monday to Friday. I'm feeling more in control and positive which is far more me (I've never been a pessimist). 

Thursday's quiz asked "what is this?" which reminded me of an old favourite rhyme

I wish I was a glow worm

A glow worm's never glum

How can anyone be sad

When the sun shines out your bum! 

Friday was a lovely lunch with friendM in our local hotel, a very nice setting, and they do a good value two course pensioner's lunch. This trip was actually my treat as I'd promised friendM a birthday lunch. Would you believe this was our first opportunity even though her birthday was last October hahaha! 

Hope you've had a good week too.
