I have only really done some basic DIY in my little flat. This week though I expanded my horizons and dismantled my built in fridge/freezer and moved it to a different wall. It backs on to the wall in my bedroom and I am tired of hearing it rumble on at night. Call me crazy but I think an uninterrupted nights sleep is kind of important …..

At least temporarily until I acquire a new one. A smaller and hopefully quieter fridge/freezer.

Not an easy job and I managed to fall down the stairs while taking out the doors and surrounding woodwork. Which was surprisingly heavy. I’m just glad I did not cause any major damage. To the stairs and myself. Though I have banged my knee again. Amazing how much damage that knee has had over the years.

Now I have to go out and get something to fill in the hole in the wood flooring. And weirdly a hole in the wall. Not sure why that is there. And then repaint everything.

For some reason I got it into my head that today was Black Friday. It isn’t. That’s next week. Though an awful lot of shops seem to have started the sale early.

Anyway, I went into the city today to have a look around and see the Christmas Market ( set up in the local Cathedral grounds ) that has just opened. As well as the Winter Wonderland, set up in a local park.

While the Christmas Market is nice with lots of stalls, music playing, festive atmosphere etc, most are selling food and drink ( the alcoholic kind ) as well as some stalls selling Christmas novelties and decorations, it can be a bit pricey.

Though it does have a couple of large covered seated areas where you can eat and have a drink.

The Winter Wonderland is basically a Fun Fair with a few rides, a Santa’s Grotto and a temporary Ice Rink. Which all looks kind of fun but does not open till about 2.30pm.

Just a quick post to see if all this stuff works.

It does …..
