There is an auxiliary powers supply (generator) on the island for when the electricity goes down, which happens from time to time, but I also have a home battery back up supply system as well......it'd be difficult for any "time-critical" admin or online business to survive without it out here, it's a much hardier way of life but all the better for it.

Outstanding. I expected that to be the case. Now get back to work 😂 I’ve got some walking to do on the beach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

faraway saint Posted January 17 Author Report Share Posted January 17 -4 on the way home but, thankfully, I had no old wimmin driving in front of me so I could safely drive along about 45 mph unlike last night when 30 mph seemed to be the adopted speed. No more snow forecast and a rise in temperatures on Friday is good news as that's the day we pick up the motorhome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faraway saint Posted January 18 Author Report Share Posted January 18 No sign of any more snow although still plenty covering the ground in our street. With the temperatures still minus it'll take a while to clear. Man flu still hanging about, mainly a cough and a slight sore head, been almost a week and it's hit quite a few of my work colleagues who've taken the opportunity to snuggle up in a nice warm bed. Last working day, that's some good news. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Felt it colder this morning outside but forgot to look at the temperature in the car.Definitely feeling the difference between a petrol and diesel for the heat coming through the blowers.Off again @Faraway [emoji50] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

faraway saint Posted January 19 Author Report Share Posted January 19 A wee bit cloudier this morning but still getting a wee bit brighter every day. No sign of a thaw, still solid ice/snow outside on our street and no gritter has bothered to make a wee trip into our road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was really icy this morning, glad of my previous ice hockey experience to not go down. My waving of my arms in the air must have looked comical. So glad I was out of shot of my ring doorbell.

Up at the same "stupid O'clock" and still persisting that he's not Shull. Same old shite. Anyhow, the thaw continues, really making a difference to the conditions underfoot, especially for the dogs who've hated the freezing snow/ice. Not a lot planned today, granddaughter staying over tonight so it's a great chance for me to watch an animated movie, brilliant.

No damage whatsoever for us, which is a relief as there was plenty of evidence of debris all over the roads when I drove to work this morning. Turned a bit cold again, only 3 deg on the journey home. I see the trains are off again from tomorrow evening into early Wednesday. Thank feck I don't use trains on a regular basis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faraway saint Posted January 23 Author Report Share Posted January 23 Dry, at the minute, but to be heavy showers throughout the day. Milder than last week, forecast to be 6 deg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
