The fridge freezer works perfectly well and she\u2019s not the sort of person who throws things out when they still work. Last night the freezer handle broke off. The fridge and freezer still work as well as ever, it\u2019s just awkward to open the freezer door \u2013 she\u2019s still not justified in replacing the freezer but she has got the broken one she wished for!<\/p>\n<p>We didn\u2019t end up working in the summer house as the sun didn\u2019t come out until towards the end of the day. Maybe we\u2019ll be able to do that today, but there\u2019s not a lot of point when it\u2019s cold outside. What my Mistress did do was collect the sample from Air that had to go to the vet for testing and as part of her bid to prove that her bike was worth getting she cycled with it to the vet rather than take the car. I did suggest she could walk with Shadow but she had a fair point when she said that the road wasn\u2019t a good one to walk a dog down due to the fast traffic, it not being wide enough for large vehicles to pass and the potholes. Of course, she also found they were reasons it wasn\u2019t terribly good to cycle down it either!<\/p>\n<p>Aristotle is in trouble. There are already more nose marks all over the window. He looked up innocently and said \u2018How did you know it was me?\u2019 but as they are several feet off the ground and could only have been made by something the size of a cow or an animal that walks on two legs and I have never seen my mistress with her nose and tongue on the window then I think it\u2019s a fair cop!<\/p>\n<p>Alfie Dog with a little help from Rosemary J Kind&nbsp;<a href=\"mailto:alfie@alfiedog.me.uk\">alfie@alfiedog.me.uk<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Alfie\u2019s Diary \u2013 the Book is available at Amazon UK &#8211;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.co.uk\/dp\/B00583ZGSA\">https:\/\/www.amazon.co.uk\/dp\/B00583ZGSA<\/a><\/p>\n<p>You can find short stories to read at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.alfiedog.com\/\">www.alfiedog.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>My Mistress has said for ages that if the old fridge freezer breaks it will be great as she really wants a new one as <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/2013\/06\/11\/tuesday-11th-june-2013-be-careful-what-you-wish-for\/\" title=\"Tuesday 11th June 2013 &#8211; Be careful what you wish for\">[&#8230;]<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":5475,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"gallery","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3,5],"tags":[63],"class_list":["post-7773","post","type-post","status-publish","format-gallery","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-day-to-day-life","category-wisdom-and-experience","tag-aristotle","post_format-post-format-gallery"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7773","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7773"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7773\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7773"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7773"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7773"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
