(...sighing) At this point in the local disaster management process, might as well defrost this thing completely and give it a good cleaning out/wiping dry. There was a lot of melted-down unsavory theoretically-non-toxic-but-unquestionably-icky fluid waste in the bottom.
Meanwhile: I want to very much thank all the nice people (and will do so individually where possible) who've been buying ebooks in the Summer Reading Sale...
Details about our summer sale are here.
...or dropping dosh in my Ko-Fi, to help me recover from this sad situation. It's been (and continues to be) very welcome.

....Rough tallies suggest that I probably lost €500-ish worth of uncooked/fresh meat and fish alone—a lot of it being stuff I'd bought pre-travel (or before previous trips earlier this year / late in last) to cook over the next couple/few months. The fridge is a slightly different story, as I'd cleaned out a lot of fresh food from there before I hit the road (though a lot of that went into the freezer. Irony, irony...). There are a lot of jarred-up condiments in the fridge that are probably okay, and some that are dubious and need to be evaluated. In any case, now I get to sit around making lists of what didn't survive in one appliance or the other, and what needs to be replaced. (insert more sighing here)
Meanwhile, I went hunting for a freezer management app to help me keep tabs on what's going on in there... as this used to be Peter's job, but he's unfortunately elsewhere occupied; and it's really easy for stuff to get buried in all those drawers. ...This app looks promising. (If I'm right, it also supports scanning groceries into fridge/freezer inventory via their barcodes, which sounds really useful. We'll see.)

So: now to go wash the towels that soaked up all that wet...
