Brrrr

I was up and dressed in plenty of time and looking forward to going to Church, when I looked out of the window.

And there it was, snow.

I used to love the snow, but now I am afraid of going out in skitey (slippery/slidey) weather because I am so afraid of falling.

So in punishment I did a job that must be about my most hated,

Yes, folks, defrosting the freezer.

It would not ordinarily have needed to be defrosted until the new year, but I must have left one of of the drawers sticking out a bi it so that the freezer door was not quite shut, causing it to frost up pretty badly.

Now that I am a bit less able I rather regret not buying a frost free freezer, but there you go.

I am through at the computer waiting for it to finish so that I can get the drawers (all washed and dried) back in and filled.

I have a large picnic bag lined with space insulating material which holds all the contents of my freezer, especially if I have run it down a bit.

The bad piece of news is that when I went to heat my cauliflower cheese in the oven yesterday, the thermostat would not register above about 75 degrees Celsius. I think the fan has gone. The outside door of the oven was hot at the top but cold at the bottom. Here we go again.

At least it is not urgent as I do hardly do any roasting or baking and the rest can be done on the hob or the microwave. Still, it is a bore.
