Tonight I shall attempt to take two elderly friends out to the pub, as I always do on a Thursday. Last week could only get to one of them due to local flooding. Unfortunately he may not be getting out this week either 🌧!

Damn! Power's just gone down.
Mrs D was just about to start cooking dinner and I was halfway through doing stuff on my PC.
Western Power say that they know about it and we should be back on inside an hour.
I've heard that before!
We seem to get a lot of power cuts at this time of year.

Perchance you have a smart meter fitted?
No smart meter. Refuse to have one.

They're not "robbing Peter to pay Paul" then. Electrically wise.

Thanks for the light mounting suggestions - some I hadn't thought of before. I've found an LED light that distributes it's light in a circle. This means I can mount it lower than I prefer but still give the driver the full effect. It's on the right seat stay.
Disappointed to have had to give up on the winter boots. I found a great pair from Fizzik but no matter what size I try, within reason, my foot is too broad. A shame.
Mrs P is out. Glass of red and episode 3 of Mars.

Morning. At least I get to be first in here now that Mr Choo Choo has beat me to it in Tea! 
Don't think I'll be doing much today as I have workmen doing my garage roof and possibly my guttering if they have time. Doesn't matter if I'm here I suppose but I suppose I better hang around in case there are any queries, plus I'm sure they will want a cuppa or two in this weather.
