More on the power cut

When the lights came back on, I saw all the bits I'd missed painting - so I spent this morning going round and touching up.
I saw Jackie from The Bookshop this morning. They were one of the few shops that opened yesterday, with a candle on the desk, and she said they'd taken more money than the previous three days put together! They even had tea - Jill had a camping stove and ran home to get a saucepan so they could boil water.
Stitch n Bitch was cancelled, because of the weather and the power cut - we had no idea when the power would be restored, of course. So our first meeting of the year will be next week.
The power cut affected about 80,000 people, all across Mid Wales, and seems to have been caused by a tree taking power cables down near Crickhowell.
And the rain and wind continue....

Meanwhile, I admitted defeat in the matter of preparing Rob Soldat's little book for the printers, and gave him a disc with everything on it to date, and he's going to ask Andy from Logaston Press for advice.
