Thank you for all replies.

My worry, as I'm sure you all guessed, was that I could not put
something in a refrigerator until it had spent some time in a
frigerator, and I don't have one of those.

He is not here; but far away
  The noise of life begins again
  And ghastly thro' the drizzling rain
On the bald street breaks the blank day.
