At Last We Have Managed To Get The Finishing Piece In Order To Get Our New Kitchen Fitted
Finally! Fanfare and unfurl the flags, at the weekend we purchased a range cooker. We were originally trying to arrange it in the early spring in order to coincide with the installation of the kitchen. It all went down the river thanks to the British banking institutions, even though the one in question has a Spanish name.
It seems that the Spanish are considerably more accustomed to bbq grills than closing the accounts of former account holders and transferring the balance to a holding account administered by the executors. This is sadly too much for them, such a terrifically technical process the poor cretin charged with the task presumably needed to be sent on a residential course for several weeks as it took in excess of seven weeks. In that time we missed the window we needed to buy the range with adequate time for it to be delivered in time to be installed in the new kitchen.
So we visited the range store in Wolverhampton on Saturday and made the day of the sales lady by telling her precisely what make, model, size, colour and fuel source we were buying. She said she normally has to work for ages to help customers find the right cooker for them but we were sorted in about 5 seconds. But naturally it could not possibly be that straightforward could it? No. In trying to place the order on the Stoves site she couldn't find the model anywhere and I went outside to do some swearing at the banks as if they'd have completed their work in time we could have had the one we wanted. However, when I went back in the problem had been spotted as a fault on the site and we could have exactly what we wanted. The relief was palpable to all I think because to go through all the research again would have been awful and I may have lost it and just asked that we just get a bbq fitted and have done with it.
But in the first week of October, the engineers will be in and all will be well. I am hopeful that the decent weather will stick around long enough so that we can have a proper launch party combining the new unit, kitchen and the bbq grills we got at the beginning of the summer. By then we will also have charcoal grills of some description as we are going for a jaunt down to the beach on the bank holiday and we will have to have one for lunch.
There's nothing I love as much than a bbq with chums, getting the food arranged and getting the bevies in. But I do wonder why it is that it is always the male of the species who does the barbequing? It can't merely be due to of the smoke blowing up off the charcoal grills and the temperature isn't arduous so why? My missus is a brilliant cook, but nothing would get her to stand there and turn the burgers and bangers. Whether they think that it is beneath them, perhaps that is the answer but actually, the bbq chef is a highly responsible job as to not cook the meat correctly risks incurring the anger of micro organisms that may be living within.
Anyway, it seems that we have to rely on the weather if we are going to have a party this year and hope that the meteorological gods will look favourably on us. We could do with a stroke of luck.
