The National Grid has emailed households with the phone numbers to contact so I have these to hand, and good torches/lights in power does go out. My head torch arrived today too.
I am just charging my phone as I've got it low from listening to brilliant pod casts today - The Rest is History of course. Two on Elizabeth 1 and sadly, the last excellent one of 4 about King Arthur. Did he really exist? I would like to think so, but possibly not centred on Tintagel as in . . . legend . . . and the time frame may be a little different, perhaps earlier. Perhaps there were several chaps called Arthur, whose feats have ended up amalgamated. As in the 16th and 17th centuries, when he was considered made up (Le Morte D'Arthur and Thomas Malory had a lot to answer for, as much of that definitely embroidered and fictional). What think you?
Today's walk was a bit short and sweet (40 mins) as my back was complaining when I was going uphill, so I think I have tweaked it sleeping awkwardly. I was nice and warm last night as when I changed the bed, I put the thicker patchwork quilt on. I have a really warm (hot!) duck down duvet for snow/frost but don't need that yet. I need to pension off the (old) duvet which is a sort of autumn weight - is part of two that fasten together, summer and autumn, to make a winter weight duvet. I will buy one next week I think.
I have had a sale of some carved wooden pieces - Keith bought them 10 years or so ago, intending to make a coffer-type box with them, but never did. (They almost certainly came from an old coffer). I sold them through Marketplace, so I was expecting someone to pick them up. Imagine my surprise when it was a sale to Dover in Kent - t'other end of the country. So they are being carefully wrapped to go via Courier.
