June 18

The kitchen units were bought 6 years ago from the UK (pre-Brexit!). This is the third time I have moved them (fortunately they just escaped the fire at the house). They are incredibly solid which makes them, heavy and difficult to manoeuvre. Up until today I have not had a problem but unfortunately the slope on the tail lift caught me out and one of the tall units toppled over. The result was very little damage to the kitchen unit but a lot of damage to the door frame. Gratefully I missed the glass by millimetres. A replacement has to be organised. More delay!

Despite that the kitchen is looking good as it begins to take shape around the fridge-freezer

A slight digression as I spent time cleaning the coffee machine I have waited 6 years to try. I thought it was just a filter machine but actually it is a bean gobbling, multi facetted coffee maker for both black and white coffee options. Took a while to work out how to use it but the result were definitely worth it.
