Aren’t we lucky with electric?
Seven days after a storm
I hope the engineers and linesmen know how they are appreciated
And the eejits who are crying that the government should have done something sooner about the storm make me very cross
How were the government supposed to stop the worst storm in a century?
Is there an Reviving Pitcher about, please?
Posh was admitted to Orsepiddle last evening after an fraught day yesterday.
I cannot get in touch with the Orsepiddle as A&E are so busy, & there is another problem with the 'phones.
Sigh.

Thank-you Dunnock.
It’s so Bluddy frustrating
Patrick is at the Doggy Hotel, but he’s not very well either
Carinthia. xx
And as Fox used to remark, if it’s not one damn thing, it’s two damn things.
NALl, obviously. Candle will be deployed in due course.
Hugs

Poppy candle burning, here. Kindest wishes to Posh and Patrick and to you for your worries, Carinthia.
Had a lovely walk, today, in low dappled sunshine. Ended up with an occular migraine and the realisation that I should really be less of a miser and buy some decent shades. Early night fer yer bee.

A neroli and bitter orange candle is being lit here
Morning all
Strange yellow thing in the sky here
Sulphur, probably
Nah, it’s the unwanted bit of God’s breakfast - He doesn’t like fried eggs either.
It’s worrying
Wish us luck on a cow hunt
We are chasing the electric cow to get unhomogenised full fat proper fresh milk
Though milking parlours are rare with so many folk still minus electric
No guarantee this link will work, but nothing ventured nothing gained, give it a try:
Carrot & Coriander soup is being made
Sprouts to be peeled before they’re much older
King Prawn curry & rice this evening.

Yes! We have just heard that contracts have been exchanged on the AB’s House, at long last. Champagne all round, I think - even though I don’t like it much.
We got real cow milk and wanted to go on the coast road home
We couldn’t as the sea wall has become the shore thanks to Eowyn
Many trees were looking sad as the wind had snapped off the crowns and left a jagged stump of a trunk
Mature trees with a metre diameter trunk!
There were also many electricity crews out and fixing wires galore
We also gave a donation to the farm our eggs come from as they lost their polytunnel which is their veg growing essential
A young couple setting out on an organic farm deserve a wee bit of help back up after a disaster in losing a vital part of their set up

I will help you by swapping you gin for your champagne
I couldn’t see you suffer!
That would probably have made me cry.
So they do, poor things. Kind of you to give it to them all the same.
As it that, I’ll happily accept, ta.
The trees that snapped seemed to be a lot of ash trees weakened by ash blight which affects many trees round here
So I think it’s a chance to plant other trees
