A big sorting out day! Emptying cupboards, hoovering, dusting, cleaning etc. We also had to empty the full waste water tank and top up with fresh water. Filling up with water was not a problem but we had a hitch with emptying the waste. It had, once again, been a very cold night and was still below zero at 11:00 when we attempted to empty the waste water. The pipe was frozen solid and no water would flow and this despite the fact that we had left the waste water heater on all night. The next 30 minutes was spent using the fan heater and hairdryer to defrost the pipe and the valve. Many large plugs of ice came out and I made sure this time that no water left in the pipe!
We walked into the village to have a quick look, but it was bitterly cold and half an hour was quite enough. We also abandoned any idea of walking into the village for a meal this evening.
