Just keeping a small torch in my pocket (not on a shelf, not hanging no a nail, actually in my pocket) in case the lights go out in this weather. Suggest you do the same

I've been pootling about on here this morning, and I was just getting down to some serious draught-proofing (of course thats prepping! more efficient use of resources, y'know) and such an odd thing happened, I came back online straight away. There's a draught blowing through an unused electrical socket :!: Its right by the one I use for the tv ... I've put an unused plug into it, but it made me think, I can tell you that! Off to do more draughtproofing.

Checking old fermenting buckets of water stored in outside shed (non-drinking)...ice free so far.
Sorting out larder shelves and moving unused Christmas stuff to front for early use.
Still gradually taking over some of the craft shelves upstairs for prep storage.
