Hairdressers, then lunch in Teamore Cafe and enjoyed their excellent veggie burger in a bun etc and cheesecake to follow with a mug of tea. Raining all day long as forecast. Went to a couple of places to get quotes for a new bathroom and kitchen sink. Visited a gas specialist shop called "Rearo" and bought myself a "Campingaz Camp Bistro 3 Stove, 1 burner, Camping Stove" – something I was going to buy as soon as I moved here for an emergency situation and never got round to it. Also sent off for a Campingaz small kettle from Amazon. So if the electric goes out for any length of time, I will be able to heat something up or make a cup of tea. I'm also stocking up on tins of food, you don't know what's round the corner! Lit the fire this evening – feels like Winter!
