Sounds like the wind and torrential rain has returned after a very brief clear, frosty interlude yesterday

Not only is our heating broken but our electric heater died this morning! I’m basically Laura Ingalls Wilder in ‘The Long Winter’.

Morning.
Grey and wet here .
I woke up feeling a bit exhausted ! I was having a dream where I was looking for my car in a garage . I had been round the place several times looking at red cars and not finding it . I don't know why I was looking at red cars as mine is blue !

It’s gone all damp but still going to get a walk in shortly after 9:as it’s forecast to get worse as the day moves on.

Another driech day which matches my current mood.
Still trying to work out what electric heating only would cost me but with being away for a week and other shennanigans I have got nothing very definite. The only indication is that it is going to be expensive for a small house.
I will still keep the coal stove and the stand by calor heaters tho' as I still remember the winter when we had no power for nearly a week.
My van was up on the garage hoist when the power failed and they were unable to get it down manually and I had no stand-by car at that point either.
Panic again as the coop lorry will not arrive till later today for some unknown reason. When I came back on Thursday I was last car off the ferry so followed the coop lorry as he was not hanging about being late again and oncoming traffic gave way immediately they saw him coming full blast towards them.

Noooo...you poor thing. Do you have some electric heaters?

our plumber neighbour popped round and pressed some buttons and it's fixed. The joy of being warm is immense.

I managed to get a quick run in before the rain hit.

I think wadings of wetliness sums up today's weather so far.
