Great news from me. After all the upheaval after Mum’s death we have moved house. We are now in a delightful fully refurbished rental, 2 bed bungalow in Morecambe which after the four story Georgian terrace is a blessing. No stairs!The kitchen is HUGE and beautiful and I can’t wait to start cooking and baking in it. My family have been absolute troopers getting Mum’s house cleared and us moved. They have gone above and beyond to get us settled and nothing is too much trouble for them. Husband is working every day as a TA for Autistic children. Only downside is that the school is 22 miles away which means a two hour round trip for me in the morning dropping him off and then the same in the afternoon picking him up. (These are small country roads not motorways you understand). It should get easier once Mum’s estate is settled and he can buy a moped and commute himself (and I won’t have to get up at 6am.) Still things are getting better every day.
Woe is me! Alack and a lack-a-day! Liverpool could only draw 1-1 with visitors Napoli, and must now get at least one point in their last Champions League group at Red Bull Salzburg to go on to theknockout stage.

I went back to bed to ice the knee and keep it elevated this afternoon, and the power was twitchy and blinky for quite a while. We could hear the wind up on the ridgetops, and I’m sure it was limbs hitting the lines causing the grid to be, hm, unreliable. But it never went off, the generator never came on.
And since we woke up this morning the well pump has been online steadily, so hurray. Having a Gin & Tonic before dinner. Not doing anything fancy for the Thanksgiving except being thankful for good friends, for being warm and well fed, puppies and kitties, etc. And you all.
And Cole: Why ISN’T Guliana in jail !???!??

Would you prefer it was getting hot in here?

I watched the entire news report and didn’t see the tornado. I was expecting to see the funnel cloud looming in the distance through that big window.

@Litlebritdifrnt: Great news! Glad to hear you’re settled.
(Well done, Cole.)

@J R in WV: Um, where is the pump? Might be a good idea to trip the breaker while someone investigates, no?
