Excavation

Okay, here's the scoop on the freezer:

When I first arrived, we opened it up to find that the entire top half was encased in ice. Words actually translated to action in this case, and the freezer was soon out on the balcony, dripping over the edge. After I came back from my first shopping expedition, Trick discovered buried treasure: a bowl of something which was an interesting shade of yellow. Trick promptly denied ownership, yet put the bowl in the refrigerator anyway (!) Continuing digging, a box of ice-blocks was unearthed. Unfortunately it was empty, so I wasn't able to attempt to digest them.
:-(

And that's more or less that. The freezer now works fine and is filled with frozen pies, fish and pizza.
