One visitor. One fridge

It's so interesting to see how the energy in the house changes from Lisbeth on her own to her with the dancing visitor. He is a great cook and isn't afraid to spend money on food or nice things - unlike Lisbeth. She tends to skimp, somewhat, and make do. Now I must say that this isn't always, or necessarily, a bad thing because she can be very frugal and that saves money. However, she is often frugal when spending is the sensible thing to do, if you know what I mean. Anyway, back to the shift in energy:

Lisbeth has been looking at fridges for some considerable time as the one she is using is really ancient. (It was in the house when she arrived; it was ancient then and that is now 5 years ago.) Also, as it is so old, it has been costing her a lot to run. So although she has been looking, she hasn't been able to find a decent make, that does what she wants, at a price that 'isn't too expensive'. This visitor has been here for two and a half days and she has bought a great Bosch fridge-freezer today in the sale. It's like magic!

Oh, and the kitchen is full of the most fab ingredients. And I mean full! As I write, her visitor is cooking and she is sitting on the veranda with a gin and tonic and a bowl of olives.
