I did a brief check of most of the BBE dates in food cupboard. Stocks are a bit low, so I'm going to do a food preps shop. Mainly pasta, tuna, tomato puree. Maybe some tinned butter beans. Also made a note to get some dried egg next month. I have loads of coffee. Long life curry is low, will rectify...

Hi from a Manc.

Yellow zone tonight, 52 gusts. About 48 on Sunday. I guess 50 is criteria.

Renewed my buildings and contents insurance, which was due to auto renew in 2 days anyway, but I wanted to check something with them. Not related to the coming storm (touch wood).

50 mph wind gusts forecast for Manchester on Saturday. We're not even in the yellow warning area.

Have tried running central heating combi boiler of the Jackery, no problems, so can use it during short term electric blackouts I thought about this, but mine is hard wired, so I'd need an electrician to fit some sort of switch. I'm not sure how it would fit with whatever regulation said mine could...

Dug out my indoor gloves. I get cold hands due to Reynauds. Seems to be worse in the afternoons, not necessarily only dependent on temperature. I have a pair of wool mitts, and some cotton ones I can just about type and use my trackpad with. Yesterday I used the electric radiator. At the moment I ha...

Asked to do this properly, so here goes. Apologies for diving into the weekly thread before introducing myself. James, based in Leeds. I coordinate a small delivery fleet, three vans, which is most of what I think about during the week and the reason half my prepping is fuel shaped. Jerry can rotat...
