Planned obsolescence

That sort of planning is pretty top notch. To the minute before long weekends.

Evaporative aircon started to leak on NYE but as we went away yesterday morning didn't call the agent to get it fixed. It's bad enough to be impacting hot water pressure. A job awaits at the end of the week when I get home.

First thing to fix is the hot water going into your swampy.

Quite often it was both of those things back in the day.

Some people would say I need a shave now.

Wat suburbs does that traverse?

The northern suburbs, mernda, south Morang, Epping, thomo, lalor, a few more than it goes through the hippies in thornbury, croxton, a few more than through Clifton hill and the most useless station north Richmond and a few more then the city loop.

Fridge update;

Vegies were frozen solid in the vegie keeper. W.T.F. ?
Mrs.H. searches the you-tube and finds some Korean bloke who explains our dilemma.
Mrs H. ( bless her little cotton socks ) gets me to unplug the fridge and pull off an inner panel where the fan and condenser are, thing is caked in ice. Out with the hair-dryer, melt it all off, good clean, whack said panel back on and Bob's your uncle.

Fingers crossed been going well for last 48hrs and we don't need a new fridge.
