Time to batten down the hatches

TheCatWoman

We're due winds of over 70mph overnight and tomorrow, I bought more batteries yesterday and I will check candles later. We might be alright or we might not, we do get strong winds, I'm going to take all the planters down and put them in a safer place and bring the bins into the garage. At least we have a gas hob and a gas fire in the living room so we can have hot food and be warm.

I'll see everyone on the other side of this.

Stay safe

  • I woke up yesterday to no electricity, it was off all day and only came on in the middle of the night, I didn't know until I woke up to the delightful smell of toast wafting up the stairs from Mum's breakfast.

    We had the gas fire on yesterday, something we rarely do, none of the animals had seen it lit before, but Muriel quite liked it, she stretched herself out in front of it warming her belly, but none of them liked not being allowed out, Fearn went out twice for a wee and that was it. My kindle ran out of juice at just the wrong point, at an exciting bit in the book I was reading. That's now on charge, battery operated xmas lights are a goddessend, I think I may get some more, I went to bed with a coil of them on my chest to read by.

    We've still got high winds but they seem like half the stength of yesterdays, so I will probably venture to the park later and let Fearn have a mad gallop.

    Hope you all stayed safe

    Hi Cat, I'm pleased to hear you are ok.

    I was woken up several times last night by the howling of the wind - it sounded horrible. Luckily I didn't have to go out this weekend, nothing in our part of our street seems to have been damaged, and our electricity stayed on. Glad it's nearly over now.
