new wine fridge

So, after a lot of thought, I went and bought a wine fridge off ebay the other week. I finally arranged pick up for today - quite an experience! It was up in Elanora Heights, which too about 75 minutes to drive to from our place at that time of night. It was lots of twisting roads and no traffic, as well as highways and peak hour.

When we finally found the house - the seller was not home - he was out to dinner! So he had left the fridge in his courtyard, and asked us to just wander in (to a block of flats that were hard to access behind a small set of local shops) and help ourselves! We rummaged through his courtyard and garage to find it, amid a bnuch of other junk (and a cute bunny in a massive cage). We finally found it, tested it in his outdoor laundry, and slid the money under the door.

It is hard to capture how surreal parts of the journey felt -but it was interesting! Luckily Sandrine came with me to help navigate - or it would have taken me hours!
