Power cut just as I was going to bed. It came back on overnight, and now all the clocks need resetting.
Why couldn't this happen when the clocks go forward?

It's blowing a hooley outside (not up to Cornwall levels, but still noisy).
On evenings like this, it's lovely to be inside a well insulated home, in front of a roaring* gas fire.

The decorations and lights are in their box, ready to ascend leftwards, and the tree is in the garage.

Mind you, I still have a cupboard full of mince pies.

My house is in urgent need of vacuuming (two dogs drop an inordinate quantity of hair in winter), but I'm struggling to get past the feeling that "it's still Christmas". Plus, the decorations come down this weekend, which will make its own fresh mess.

Waiting for Reform and the Tories to call for that woman who said asylum seekers should be burned alive in hotels to be stripped of her citizenship and deported. No? Freedom of speech for me but not for thee, again? Plus the Family Guy racist colour chart.
