I don't understand it, something has changed.

I left the freezer door open and the darned thing went into full defrost mode.

Somehow I did not lie awake all night bemoaning the cost of all the spoiled food, the wasted work, the idiocy of not checking the door properly, the huge task of clearing up and ruminating on the futility of life and everything.

Neither did I throw things at the cats, physically abuse the freezer, indulge in swearing episodes, self-pity or make unsympathetic remarks about the deity(s) - the wife is away and a tantrum is no fun without an audience in any case.

But I did get up early and turn all the fish into fiery Sino-Thai-Indochinese-Japanese soup, roast all the chicken and processed the meat into pork madras curry, and bottled /jammed all the fruit.

This is almost unheard of. If I carry on like this I might be cured in time and have to leave this forum - time is running out for anyone here wanting to partake of my wit/wisdom/guile/knowledge.

And after the defrost had finished the freezer restarted. I did feel like kicking it but forebore.
