It seems that not a day goes by that I don't blow a fuse....an electric fuse, in the house, that is. We have lived here for weeks and it hasn't been a problem, but alas, I have been trying to sneak in some dryer usage every once in a while and that's what gets me every time. Today I was using the dryer, the oven, and then the dreaded American kitchen monster, as it is seen here in the land of the tiny appliances and kitchens, yes, the refridge kicked on and boom, there goes the fuse. So, up I go to the 3rd floor to turn off the dryer and then down to the first floor to reset the fuse box and re-read the nasty-gram that shows up on the LED screen on the elctric meter. Ah the excitement. Remember, Emerald Emily, you may not use three large appliances at once- I haven't tried the washer/oven/fridge combo- maybe I'll shoot for that tomorrow. It's good to have goals. Not too much is new- grocery shopping, well baby for Percy- the day went fast. Here are some pictures of the munchkins opening Nanny Nonna's box as I didn't take any today.
