Update on getting the OH on your side

[MaryN]

Well, folks, I think I've managed to get my lovely OH interested - at last! - and not before time, I must say.

I've been trying to get him interested in becoming more aware of the problems developing in this country and globally, and - surprise! - I think I struck a chord. We are now going to look for a little generator to at least make sure we have back up power. It may be just a weeny step, but considering his previous opinions on the subject, believe me, this is big.

I don't know what changed his mind. I thinkt it was a combination of things. He was rather bemused by my insistence in buying storeroom foods - just in case - and when I started enquiring how much petrol the car tanks could hold - just in case -, I think his interest was piqued. He is now checking his tools to make sure we are well equipped - just in case.

I realise this might seem a bit petty to some, but to me it's developing gold in the hand. Wish me luck.
