The Hungarian Oven

Trevor and Glenda recently had their kitchen refitted, and a fine new AEG oven was shipped out from Hungary and installed. The only thing is, it doesn't work, but stubbornly displays the error code F136 instead. AEG say they are mystified as their error codes don't go that high. The vendor has agreed to ship out another oven so they're waiting for that, and hoping it works.

Anyway, Friday night is pizza-and-movie night, and you really need an oven for the pizzas. Glenda makes them herself, and very good they are too. The bases are made fresh by the local baker, and the mozzarella and everything else is sourced locally. They're cooked on stones, currently in the oven in our apartment; our presence complicates the numbers and means that the number of pizzas required exceeds the number of stones available, so they're being cooked in shifts, with a runner going over the road periodically to see how they're doing. This worked fine.

The movie part of the evening was The Sapphires ( basically The Commitments, only with women), and this was followed by National Rugby League, in which Manly Sea Eagles knocked lumps off Sydney City Roosters, and vice versa. Curiously, although it's a national league, there's very little Rugby League played outside of NSW and Queensland, with none at all in SA, NT, or WA.

If there is news on the oven I'll be sure to tell you.
