Now electricity is cut off, means no heating, can't hoover or iron in front of telly, no "Escape to the Country" (I like seeing England), hot water will run out so had quick shower in unheated bathroom. Rang EDF - "Owing to adverse weather conditions in your area please expect ruptures of current, we are doing all that is possible to restore power". (Translation from French). But I feel for the chaps out there in the snow. It is just easing off now having snowed steadily since the night.
OH has rigged something up involving my electric fence battery so he can get internet.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
Very icy today,a lot of slipping and sliding going on,very cold and sharp and I have a hat on which I normally hate,cant ride out tomorrow as ground to slippery and yesterday at R.D.A. me and the horse slipped side ways.poor birds look shrammed and I just got the yucca in in time,the snow is threatened for Friday.
Sorry, forgot to say I have 2 woodburners so not totally cold and a gas thing with bottled gas for the kitchen which I bought in 99 after the "tempete" which was like the 87 hurricane in England. No electricty then for about 2 weeks.
There is mains gas in big towns Geoff, because I know they have it in Bordeaux. But not here.

Oh Lizzie. Get those jumpers out.
Hope you get power back soon.
Jumpers as in horses or jumpers as in kangaroos-or jumpers as in wooly things?
