We are back!! AND the painter is done. Including the repainted kitchen which is now a yummy soft shade of butter yellow, phew! Now the real unpacking can begin!!
We got in late last night, but we had a truly lovely time in Italy. The weather was about 75 degrees. The water was beautiful, the company fantastic and we are really excited to be so close to places like this that we will explore again later.
Hubbz started tonight on installing the wardrobes we got from Ikea. They’re huge and unwieldy, but he’s tough and manly, and he honestly is really handy – so I know they will come together nicely. Today the washer and dryer and refrigerator arrived from the base supply. Did I mention this already? The base will loan us these major appliances during our stay here. The washer and dryer stack nicely in their slot in our bathroom (which is bigger than my kitchen…seriously). The fridge – well that’s another story. We have a long and narrow, narrow, narrow pantry in our kitchen. Hubbz and I measured it and decided that we could fit a refrigerator from the base in it because it is 80cm wide and the fridge is 75cm wide. It’s a close fit – but we figured we could do it. What we didn’t consider was that the doorway to the pantry was 67cm wide. WHOOPS The delivery man was SO NICE and showed me the error of our ways. Thankfully he hadn’t brought the fridge up the stairs yet (perhaps he’s had this experience before!). I called the base and they will send a new fridge on Thursday.
We are tired and not long for this process. More to follow soon!
