That's Christmas gone
15c in the kitchen
First cuppa brewing.

Torrential rain has returned. Really is back to normality!

Raining here as well

Had maybe half a dozen international calls to my mobile over the last few days, Canada, Netherlands etc etc. Had a handful of missed calls from Dubai the other week. I never answer them, eventually just block them.
Anyone had this ?

Looks like the works phone had a call from Los Angeles yesterday

Blood donation completed

I was thinking of the saying that it is better to give than receive! It is if you are on the receiving end. I had to have 4 pints once .

Nope, not international, just the occasional UK based spam calls, most of which my phone tells me that they're spam.

Good morning from a soggy, overcast and windy Suffolk - looking at the weather forecast I may just copy and paste that for the next couple of weeks.

Back at the workface and nothing to report apart from the first cuppa of the day has been made but not drunk yet and it's a very quiet start to the working week.

What a contrast in weather.
After a nice day yesterday we now have torrential rain and gale force winds.
All morning ferries cancelled and many mainland roads blocked by fallen trees and flooding.
The lights have flickered a couple of times which is not a good sign. Usually a straight off means it gets fixed quickly but after flickering it can take a while.
Most of our power lines are now underground but in the past we had frequent power cuts.
There was a hydro generator which was designed many years ago and in fact we were the first town to have street lights and the power came from there.
Not big enough to power the whole distillery and we took cover when the main boilers started as it sounded as tho' it was about to take off.

It’s pretty bleak here today. I need to either start my tax return, make labels for some prints or go to the darkroom and rewash a couple of prints. I must say that no option is particularly appealing but I’ll probably go for one that doesn’t involve taking large photographs outside the house.

On the other hand, it’s nearly coffee time.
My xmas gift from Mr Hebe is somewhere between Germany and here. I wish I was one of those people who can wait patiently instead of
