Tutti Frutti
The sameness of the days was interrupted today in an unfortunate way: our fridge/freezer decided to break down. The internal light and various things still work so we hadn’t realised that the freezer had completely defrosted and the fridge is no longer working. Unfortunately some food in the freezer was lost, though it’s a relatively small freezer that wasn’t full, so thankfully it’s more of a nuisance than a disaster.
Someone is coming out to have a look at it on Wednesday (with a whole heap of conditions around distancing and disinfecting) and in the meantime a quick visit to Argos gets a small counter-top fridge for the milk, salad and cold meat etc.

Pondering
I spent quite a lot of the day sitting outside again. It was bright and sunny when I got up, and I ate breakfast al fresco. It got cloudier later, but it stayed warm and, this evening, turned more humid around the time I finished my walk. I’ve been expecting it to rain all day, but it hasn’t.
Anyway, I’m getting to like sitting out in this clean air and took a look online at some self-build garden furniture. Unfortunately everything I liked, and can afford, is already sold out, with no new stock expected until factories are back in operation.
I had a decent walk tonight after a couple of low-energy days. I’ve got 11,000 steps in today, so I’m OK with that. Before I went out, I started to watch The Rise of Skywalker to see if I had been unduly harsh on it in December. I don’t think so. All the technical aspects are great, and the actors all do a great job. It’s just a shame the screenplay sucks like a sucky thing.

We lost Little Richard today. Like Florian Schneider, the cause was the other ‘C’, cancer. Lots of choices for music, including all the hits, bt I’ve gone with a relatively obscure version of Rock Island Line.
