Onward...

Haven't updated in a while: been spending time quietly at home, mostly.

Yesterday was a nice day, so we took a drive. First to Sutton Bridge to find some UPSs that I'd bought on Ebay last week. The lady of the house was away when we got there, but her husband was there, and turned out to be the one actually selling the kit. This should give us some protection against the vagaries of the local power supply. Once they're installed, that is; anybody local got a spare C14-C13 mains lead? I've found three so far, but we could use another one or two.

Onwards across to Stoke Ferry, to look at a house. Not that we're intending to move any time, but our friend Sasha has been making noises about moving to the country. So I went to look on rightmove (as one does) and found somewhere that looked both interesting and cheap. Nice village (two pubs, Pat!) and nice countryside around it, but commuting would be a problem for me and the house turned out not to suit us anyway. But we'll bear it in mind should we need to move somewhere with better local services than Coveney.

And now the wind is getting up and threatening to demolish the front fence. Hopefully, this is winter's last blast; roll on spring.
