man down

[Grumpy Grandpa]

Hi BD, it's a bummer that you're laid up and I hope it's nothing too serious or that will come back to haunt you later in life. That's what happened to me - paying for my mis-spent youth!

Good though, that, seeing the effectiveness of your prepping, further convinces your other half of the wisdom of it.

Funnily enough, my principle problem with prepping to date, has been SWMBO and her resistance to 'your wee hobby', as she puts it but last night, although we didn't lose power altogether, we did have a flicker or two that I took as a warning and I dug out the few bits and bobs I have put together like a couple of lamps, torches, candles and so on and a meths camping stove. Today though, she wants to go to a new shop she's seen to get a proper emergency stove with a couple of rings and a grill!

Bad weather can have a bright side...
