Freezing our Keesters Off

Yesterday the water in our house never would get hot.  This happened once
before and we were told there was just a "bubble" in the line.  So I thought it would just work out.  Right?  No.

The oil in our boiler is OUT.  That's right.  1700 euros in 4 months.  Gone.  We called today to see when we can get it filled.  Monday.  They were closing in 5 minutes.  SOL.  Yes, they close at noon on Saturday.  Of course they do.  So no heat, no hot water until Monday afternoon.  And it's less than 50 degrees F. outside in the middle of the day!

Somethings in Belgium I will definitely NOT miss!

  1. I hated that too, about living in another country. All the stores closed at 4pm during the week. We got out of work at 5pm. The stores were open until noon on Saturdays. So that meant we had about 3 hours to get all our shopping done for the week! GIVE ME A BREAK! I HATED THAT. Good luck! I hope you make it through okay!
