Feeding Merry's muse

New fridge arrived at about 12.15, or a little after; The deliverymen handily got the top-box down for me, jiggled the old fridge out (I had to hide behind the closed door while they got it past the corners in the living room), and got the new one in. It had to sit for at least two hours, probably got three, before being turned on; it is now on, and cooling down - though I can't find the at-least two fridge thermometers I took out of the old one... I expect they're in a bag. The milk has so far lasted OK, standing in a cool bag surrounded by other things, but after I'd eaten I had a nap and have been to Iceland, so an illicit 2L of milk and 6 creme caramel pots are now in the new fridge. It's supposed to want 6 hours, according to the manual, but I expect it can cope with that much after four.

The only disadvantage of it is that the doors don't open completely flat sideways, so I'm going to have to rejig what stands in front of it so I can get round the 'corner' to get things in and out. I'm gradually unpacking a bag at a time of stuff that came out of the kitchen (or was moved from the hall/living-room). The 'veg rack' (originally bought in the 1970s, I think - I had a pair of them, which I bought for paperback bookshelves!) desperately needs cleaning, sorting out, and restacking. And the shelves in the kitchen were emptied and moved for the installation, so they've got to be refilled. And of course the food... I fully expect to be dumping all the frozen stuff, though I knew there wasn't much hope of saving it; but at least it's not a lot. I shall do what I can of that sort of thing tomorrow (I'm pretty much knackered tonight, though might get a few things rearranged), and hope to go out to knit group as normal.
