since our new bbq – Glowy – arrived in April, we (my housemate!) have been barbecuing much more often…
recently we had hamburgers which were delicious… I’ve gotten a bit more lazy and have been buying premade patties, but they are much tastier than previous versions…
this bbq has extra btu, so it is easy to get good heat for searing and lovely grill marks;-)…
we’ve also done chicken, steak, lobster, sausage, and lamb, as well as zucchini, potatoes, and onions…
we’ve been looking into air conditioner splits, as well as a new air conditioner for a while now…
the current air conditioner hasn’t worked for at least three years, and maybe even five… I can’t remember…
when I had someone in to look at it, they said it was leaking freon and couldn’t be repaired… it has sometimes been very hot upstairs but I managed with a tower fan…
last year I’d been quoted around $5,000 to replace it and that just seemed too much, particularly as the cold air never really made it upstairs, lol…
we had an HVAC person in the other day and the splits just weren’t going to work here… before moving forward with a new air conditioner, they suggested trying to get the old one working… they came back on Saturday to see if they could get the old one going…
they were here for a couple of hours and got it working😁😆😄…
the problem was the virginia creeper which had wound its way around the motor… I guess the other company was just wanting me to purchase a new air conditioner…
it is recording 13 something and the optimum is 20, so that sounds quite wonderful to me…
went to a new place to get my hair cut on Friday… the place I’d been going to for years closed recently… I was disappointed because it was close and a nice walk to get there, and there was lots of parking if I had to drive…
today I went to Top End Studio Inc. it is one block up and three streets over, so even closer;-)…
had a lovely experience… the owner is very personable and did a great job cutting my hair…
I am excited that they use elumen and have an appointment scheduled for August to get purpled again, woohoo…
