The supply is pretty reliable now - a tree coming down or, as last year, a transformer blowing up spectacularly, is fairly unusual.Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00822383355869390919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-19597234395118139592009-12-20T14:49:30.577+00:002009-12-20T14:49:30.577+00:00Ever thought of getting a generator?

You can get a 3KW one for less than £70 these days. <br /><br />Mind you, since we've had ours, the power hasn't been off for more than a couple of hours at a time.

So we've got an open fire, wood burners and a Calor Gas Aga (heh, I typed Carol).<br /><br />I doze only, from about 4 o'clock every morning, 4D, at present.

I don't deserve to be a physical wreck, but it turns out to be congenital. Who knew? I've warned my daughter.<br /><br />Just in casseroles, or generally, Christopher? I like lamb. But it was a chicken casserole last night.<br /><br />Sarah, I've been looking for a kettle to go on the stove since the last one went rusty.
