Cocktail Hour

Yes, we woke up and the power was back on! Vans were coming and going all night through to the early hours, and parking right outside our windows, so we weren’t quite as rested as we’d hoped, but at least everyone had electric! Mum and I drove over to my flat as a late Christmas present had been delivered, then got stuck into Christmas prep when we got back. I made my own nut roast this year, which seemed to take hours, and of course the obligatory trifle. After lunch, we were officially on Christmas time, and sat down with gin, jigsaw puzzle and tv and stayed that way for the next few hours. Another late night power cut finished off the day; once again the street was in darkness wondering if we’d have power for Christmas day!
