Off grid living has its drawbacks. Makes you appreciate how grim life was pre electricity and petrol. Even the wood burner relies on petrol for the chainsaw.

Leftie, dog-loving, Tory-hating wannabe activist. Europhile rejoiner, #FBPPR #FBPE. I love dancing, laughter, creativity, and playing with words and music. Committed atheist (but not evangelical about it). DMs closed, sorry.

28.11.2025 12:02 โ ๐ 3 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0Morning! Enjoy your rest.
Small trauma last night when the battery ran out of power. Obviously the lack of sunshine and heavy need for lighting was more than the solar panel could manage. Generator now running.
We are heading to a Christmas market later, trying to feel festive!
Happy Friday everyone
That makes sense. I've seen some quirky animations which I think were Polish, very entertaining.
27.11.2025 15:55 โ ๐ 2 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0Difficult question but how would you describe Polish humour?
27.11.2025 12:30 โ ๐ 2 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0That sounds an interesting topic. Do they have close equivalents in Polish?
Yes, the lockdown effect on nature was amazing, and the general recovery of the planet once travel was greatly reduced was notable. Shame no lessons were learned.
Morning, grey here but dry, a warm front coming through. Hope the lessons go well. We had a lovely walk in the Chรขteau park at Regniere รcluse yesterday, didn't see wild boar though they had dug extensively. Tried a new restaurant, excellent.
Meeting friends for a walk later.
Happy Thursday!
As though foreigners need yet another reason not to visit the USA...

27.11.2025 01:35 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0I could ask the same of you...
27.11.2025 01:31 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0Randomly! Can insomnia be considered a superpower?

27.11.2025 01:24 โ ๐ 2 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0Excellent, a decent breathing space now. Do they backdate it?
26.11.2025 15:04 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0Morning! How soon do you hear about the benefits?
A lovely sunny day here, the forecast is much improved too. We are planning an afternoon/evening trip to Amiens in the next couple of days.
I got my music finished and sent to my singing partner. We both have a lot of learning ahead.
Happy hump day!

25.11.2025 07:16 โ ๐ 2 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0Fingers crossed for you. It must be obvious to anyone that you are disabled, I hope that ibcludes the authorities.
We are currently in the queue to load onto the train. Hoping for a smooth journey and some dryish weather. This visit is mainly for clearing and closing up for winter.
Happy Tuesday!
Wow, haven't heard this one before. Variations indeed, the motifs still shine through it all.
24.11.2025 22:08 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0I was sure I replied, maybe failed to press send! All packed and ready for an early start tomorrow. Roofer will come and roof while we are away.

Winter is never good for arthritis. The damp encourages inflammation it seems. Do you have a lot of snow now?
ะigel Faัage would really hate it if you signed and shared this petition.
I suspect ัoัis Johะธsoะธ would too.
Afternoon! It sounds like a happy busy, that's good.
I'm home alone with Mosey, made a carrot and ginger cake and some lemon and ginger cordial.
My right knee is starting to be painful. Hopefully this is just a passing flare-up. I know it too will need to be replaced in time, just not yet please.
Thanks Peter, much appreciated x
