new fridge day, yesterday. we've been w/o a freezer since August. thanks to covid the thing was back-ordered. originally we thought it would take 2 weeks & we were horrified. got a call last Wed that it would be delivered last Friday. we didn't believe it. Friday comes & the delivery guys said it won't fit because it's the exact size of the space we have, but 1" too tall. I told him I would whip off the top cabinet, but he still refused to bring it into the house. they left. we raised a stink & I whipped off the unused top cabinets. low & behold, it's in! don't ever get between a woman & her new fridge, that she waited 3 months for!

we had ice cream last night & kept the left overs!!!!!!! whoohoo!

I wouldn't be surprised if the cats claim the spot on top of that...

Anyways, I had a Spanish omelette and toast for supper. There's enough of the omelette left for tomorrow.

I'm out of bread though, so I'll whip up a soda bread later as it's quick and easy.

I used to get a 'soda' when in Belfast; fried soda bread with fried sausages and tomatoes. Really unhealthy.

New USB repeater extension arrived. Not good enough as it's not transmitting data at 480mbs. So that's going back.

And the new mains power network's gone on the blink. That'll have to wait until Thursday when I've time to look at it.

Try switching off the main unit and back on.

I'm partial to toasted soda bread filled with crispy fried black pudding...

I am eating walnuts and contemplating buying a Lotus.

I'm sure you can afford more than one pack

Much better day today - strong & bitterly cold wind for the ride to work, but at least it brightened up to quite a nice afternoon.

Made even better by a couple of lovely pork loin steaks & chips for tea

I was able to celebrate the lifting of the stupid 5km travel restriction with a 30 mile ride on my fixed wheel Raleigh. Beautiful moonlit night but very windy along the lake shore.

I’ve ordered a pair of the Continental winter contact 2 tyres.

I actually bake my own Speculaas

No need to buy *that* type of Lotus

How do you obtain them then, if you don't buy them?

I have a very fine Dutch recipe... AND my own secret spice mix.

I think I could quite easily loose my temper today with a certain supplier

The latch on my bedroom window is loose and wobbly.
I'll tighten the two screws, later, if I have the time..
