Well, we have just had an impromptu candle lit supper! No, the OH hasn’t gone all romantic… we have a power cut!! Very lucky though as I had a curry on the gas hob so I just did some rice and dinner is served!
Suppers for all sound lovely. We had pork chops, stir fried leeks and mushrooms with persil and garlic baked potato wedges. Topped with a giant pig in blanket. Delicious. Charlie still feeling under the weather, but ate well.
We're currently watching the football, living on the edge, but optimistic.... We'll see...

Thanks for that @punkdoc - luckily there was no one at home coz I was singing along mostly out of tune! Hope you managed your journey up North without too much slipping and sliding and that you manage to get home successfully tomorrow. Lots of lovely food being served up in various homes this evening it seems. Hope your electric resumes very soon @AuntyRach.
Good morning and bon appetit to all! Nearly every post has munching content. Good! It is December after all. Here it is back to clouds and cold, meeting the walking codgers at midday, hot coffee and sarnies at the ready. Have a lovely Sunday and keep safe.
In similar circumstances I’ve always found it helps to be reflect on what the person would say if they were in their ‘usual’ state … would she tell you to stay in a safe place or would she want you to undertake a journey that puts you both at risk?
If she is safe and being cared for where she is, then I believe that sometimes the best course is to postpone the visit until it’s safer for you. I know that I wouldn’t want my children to take big risks in bad weather to visit me … even if I’d not seen them for a while.
There … I’ll take my Gt Aunty Dove had off now. Good luck whatever you decide to do 😊
Fffffflamin ‘eck … it’s -6C out there according to the app!!! (my garden thermometer died last week). It’s a good while since we’ve had temperatures like that in Norfolk. Ive a feeling my self-sown Echium pininanas probably won’t survive this 😒
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Flamin 'echium .... just had a text from Anglian Water saying there's a huge leak in our area and we can expect low pressure or even no water today while they repair it ... I'd just put a load in the washing machine and it seems ok so far ... 🤞

Keep safe @punkdoc and Moira. 🤗

Heavy frost here in Dordogne, -5°.
We are going to a Carol Service this afternoon.
This morning I will write Christmas cards for friends and family in France.
A quick look in - -2°C this morning - temperature now at 0°C overcast, no wind.
I have a friend's son coming now to prune the Mulberry tree. I have also just been invited to eat couscous at lunchtime.
Enjoy your Sunday, whatever you are doing.
