Battening down the garden. We are in the hit zone for this coming storm.

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).

We should get off lightly in Edinburgh but thanks, you have reminded me to get a few things sorted in the garden like getting coverings for various garden things like the chiminea.

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 soon, but there are specific reasons for this - Spice Tailor have discontinued one of my favourites, and possibly another. All the ones I got previously in bulk expired in December. I have two new varieties to test soon anyway. I may take a chance and get 5 of the ones still being sold. I have to get them off Amazon so I can't see the BBE dates. If it is still Dec that will be very annoying, but hopefully not. Would be bad to be selling packs of 5 with only one month on them. If it is, I can have 2 in Nov, 2 in Dec and 1 Jan so not the end of the world.
