Morning
Phew, I'm here!
There we were, enjoying a drink, me on here and Bb on the tablet/watching Tv. The lights had flickered quite a few times during the evening, then it all went dark
Isn't it...
dark when everything goes off!!
Thankfully it looked like a full moon so even through the storm there was a little bit of light. We found the candles by the light of our phones and the tablet
But blimey, 8 tealights and a couple of tall candles don't give out much light
It went off about 11.30, so after half an hour or so waiting to see if it came back on we went to bed - having stumbled around turning off everything that had been on
I set my phone alarm for 7 (Olympics), and the bedside radio alarm said 4.10 so it had come back on around 3.
No internet though!
But at least we could have coffee etc
Had intended setting bread up last night but luckily had a single roll in the freezer so sent Bb off to work with that. Set it up for a rapid loaf this morning and it's come out all funny, I think the yeast has died
No damage to us thank goodness, we're lucky I think that these houses all have walled gardens, it shelters and breaks up the wind a bit. The house at right angles to our back garden lost several roof tiles, so probably others have too.
Don't know how the town was yet, but 32 people had to be evacuated from a restaurant in the next village - rocks from the beach were apparently hurtling through the windows
Right, back to today
Do take care Saundra, hope you're ok xx
Have a good day all, and the poorly ones look after yourselves
