We're fine!

Finally had to bite the bullet and buy a new fridge/freezer.  After throwing out two large crisper drawers of frozen fruit and veg. it had to go.  Anyone who knows my DH knows that we had to go to EVERY store that sells appliances and look at a million fridges (only a slight exaggeration)!!  We were limited as to what size we could get.  The fridges today are wider and taller and as we had a space that couldn't be changed we had to get a smaller fridge.  It doesn't seem smaller though.  Because of the French doors it seems to have a lot more room and everything can be seen.  No more vintage bottles and containers hiding at the back.  I really like the pull out drawer for the freezer as well.  I'm happy with it!!


DS#2 on his flight back from London. He said it was very quiet in London where he was.  Only 3 people on the bus and everybody maintaining proper distancing.  He didn't get to do any shopping as they were confined to the hotel so no goodies for me this trip!  The flight was very basic.  They were giving out lunch packages and bottled water at the beginning of the flight and the same again closer to the end of the flight.  No galley or isle service.  He said no one was complaining.  He's worked all his shifts for this month now and hopes to be able to book just domestic flights for next month.
Very quiet around here.  Neighbours shoveling our snow for us.  We're well stocked for groceries.  Just have to go to the bank tomorrow and then home again.  Went for a walk this afternoon, nice and sunny and only -4C.  Lots of others walking but maintaining the correct distance.  I just wish more people would shovel their sidewalks!

  1. We bought a new fridge freezer a couple of months ago. We looked at dozens and decided against a huge double door one in the end, it was just going to be too big for our kitchen. Yours does look nice though.

    1. This is smaller than our old one but seems roomier because of the French doors.

  2. Nice. I love the pullout drawer on mine and you are so right they do feel much larger than the old style.

    God bless.

    1. It's narrower than the old one but seems much wider because the freezer is on the bottom.

    1. It's an LG. We have the water on the outside door and the ice maker is in the freezer drawer so I don't loose any shelf space in the fridge door.

    1. Thanks Chris. After laying off 5,000 employees about a week ago, they announced yesterday they will be laying off another 10,000!! He should find out what his situation is today.

    1. I think if it was now the fridge would still be limping along because we wouldn't be going to look at any in the stores and I wouldn't make such a big purchase on line without seeing it.
