A Semblance of order?

Yesterday was an important day - I finally got to take our groceries off the window-sill and put them into an actual fridge!

When we got here (to the apartment), although there are beds, some chairs and other bits & pieces there wasn't an appliance in sight. After a very busy week in Londinium, and with babies being what they are we had generated about a ton of laundry and were fast running out of clothes that hadn't endured at least one days wear. :s

The pressure was on to get washing machines, fridges, toasters, kettles etc etc into the house so we could wean off "Old Mc Donalds" for din dins and yesterdays shirt for warmth. Heck, we didn't even have a spoon or a mug for a cuppa! Can you imagine the gravity of the situation?
Abbreviating the story, a whole pile of machines arrived at the apartment yesterday and haven't stopped working since.

My faithful ol Tesco packet of refrigerables like milk, ham, butter and so on have been keeping fresh in the perma-fridge that is the Czech outdoors on our dining room windowsill. I'm sure many a neighbour has pondered the strange doings of these foreigners, turned to their children and spouses and wondered about the future of their neighbourhood.
Nevertheless, we are now refrigerated!
It seems ironic that one needs a fridge when the outside temps are in the mid teens below zero.
