Canberra is one of the handful of places in Australia where a well insulated and heated house is not just desirable but necessary. It was one of the few conditions to our family coming here to live from not quite so chilly Adelaide. After the lightning strike of December 2010 the heater has been ever so temperamental and clicks off requiring resetting, if you are lucky it will re-ignite, constantly. And it is made worse by cold weather! So, back to the insurer I go and now will re-submit a continuance on our claim of 18 months ago to see if this can be rectified.
Yesterday was the continuation of a very frustrating and messy day - but all's well that ends well as per my below post to facebook.
And after a frustrating 40 minutes trying to coax our temperamental heater to ignite on this very chilly overcast day we have warmth in the house in readiness for the -1 forecast for tonight. After much kneading and coaxing my pasta dough finally came together and made the best pasta I have made in a long time - topped with a new 'sauce' of blanched and pureed spinach and garlic mixed with broken up fried pork and fennel sausage with onion and parmesan. Finally back on the sofa with homemade icecream and warm feet. Sigh.
