I was just supposed to go out for a quick trip with Fredrik to fill up on diesel and water before winter, but I had to come back empty-handed. The Wallas won’t start, and the water pump is broken. On top of that, someone had forgotten to drain the water from the faucets and put antifreeze in the drains, so things were a bit tense this time.

I won't be able to do anything about the water until January, and I can't fix the stove until the snow comes so I can pull it down on a sled. Argh.
