The benefit of having next to no electricity and running water is that you don't notice that the fridge doesn't work or that taps are leaking. There's no chance of internet connection at home (no electricity to run computers anyway) so you just sit and chat with your friends.. No dragon lady wahalla.. The joys of a simple life: we do miss cold beer though. Final tip: bathe in the evenings - a cool shower is just what you need! NB for those asking about generators - seen the price of fuel recently?

I was sick of it after just a few days. I can't imagine having to do it for a whole 2 years! aw, that’s a very sad story.

Olivia & Flo got home yesterday to find a dead mouse the cat brought in. Olivia, her friend and her kid too scared to touch it. Flo just swept it up and threw it into the garden. Perhaps I should send her and the cat to sort your mice? Sha can't fix fridges though! Sorry but that made me chuckle.
