Red Sky in the Morning...


...Shepherds warning?

Was still blooming cold though, despite the cover...

Had a quite long power cut last night at home...power cuts used to be so rare, but this must be the eleventh one in the last week! Most of them are just tiny blips, enough to re-boot my PC and kill all the clocks on the exectrical appliances around the place, but this one had us scrambling for torches, in fact the first source of light we found (Flyingpops genius) actually led to some tiny electronic tea-lights (containing blue LEDs) that we keep in the bathroom! After the last little lot (3 on Saturday night) she also had the foresight to have the number of the electricity board in her phone, another general problem, normally we get off quite lightly thanks to the proximity of the local hospital, but this one was obviously something pretty serious...it's funny quite how quiet it is in the house with no fish pump, PC fans, TV etc. etc. running...was actually quite strange...
