Around the House

As I've already mentioned, we've had a lot of rain. All the moisture has caused some mold in our house, so we bought several containers of Damp Rid brand desiccant. One was a hanger-type, which we put in our wardrobe. Well, it's really working! I can't believe how much moisture it absorbed in only one week:

It works!
In other news, we finally got a microwave. We haven't had one in a year and a half, because we thought "maybe we don't really need one?" and also were holding out on buying yet another device with an Aussie plug that we'll have to get rid of when we move back to the USA. However, I got tired of not wanting to eat leftovers because reheating on the stove takes too long! So, we got one second-hand through Gumtree, an Aussie website that's similar to Craigslist. Hooray!

So convenient!
Finally, we also bought a second-hand wine fridge. (So much for restraint on extra devices!) Unfortunately, the only spot it fits gets a few hours of direct sunlight every day. So, Matthew was very crafty and made a decorative heat and light barrier out of some styrofoam, poster board and decorative paper.

So pretty!
