So much has been going on and I don’t have it in me to do a proper update (and I don’t think you’d want to hear it!) but I thought I’d share this bit as you all might understand more than most -
I went back to Spain to get the house sorted for the coming year and the landlord has removed the crappy barely functioning fridge freezer and put an enormous, impressive Bosch fridge freezer in its place.
Wow what a nice landlord. Replacing the boiler, scrubbing and repainting the place til it shines, buying a new fridge freezer and putting an enormous television/monitor on the desk upstairs. This is a dream landlord sent from the gods.
Except the fridge is far, far too big for the kitchen so they removed the kitchen cupboards and even the kitchen door to make way for the new fridge.
This means the already tiny kitchen now has only one normal sized wall cupboard for everything, absolutely every ingredient, every bit of kitchenware has to fit in one cupboard
I couldn’t find the pots, pans, sieve, colander, stick blender etc until someone was looking for the tv remote and there they are in a cabinet drawer.. in the living room under the television. The rest was in bags under the stairs.
It just about worked as a kitchen before and now it doesn’t work at all.
It was done from the nicest motives, but done by people who clearly don’t cook at all
As this week has worn on and I’m unable to cook as I normally would (due to having 25cm of workspace now mostly covered in groceries) I’ve discovered how miserable not being able to cook makes me. It’s pretty miserable.
It’s sad but I realised today I have to start to look at getting a new place, one I’m sorely responsible for the decision making in.
How someone has two children but doesn’t understand about cooking is beyond me.
Heyho onward n upward.
