Cheesemaker’s website needs work. Front page says they’re open 7 days per week.
But their contact & map location page refutes this.
The latter scenario is the correct statement.
Just after the power as disrupted some 45 minutes ago, I heard emergency service sirens going past. I’m wondering whether a vehicle accident has taken out a pole or other item of infrastructure.
So sad. Devastated, even. I was supposed to meet a friend on Saturday night but it had been his mother’s funeral the previous day. She had done the same as my own mother, fallen out of bed & unable to get up. But Mum was found within 15 hours, Dave’s mum was down for six days before being found in that state.
She never recovered from exposure (it’s winter) and pressure sores from being unable to move much. Like my Mum, she was living alone.
There comes a time when my collection of various battery/kerosene light sources comes in handy. Like now. It’s 8:30 pm, cold & very blustery winter night. I use gas only for hot water, everything else runs off power.
I have a neat camping lantern that has two detachable torches on it, so three rooms can be illuminated separately.
I can still boil water, I use what’s called a bush kettle for that, essentially it’s a 1.25 litre water jacket around a central chimney. It’s constructed from aluminium, has a kiln-dried blackwood handle & can be fuelled by metholated aka white spirits.
Bumped the HomePod & it started playing Antti Martikainen music. I can think of far worse ways to pass time when it’s not yet bedtime.
@variablepulserate It was closer related to lack of recent quality sleep. The medical staff told me I’d be OK to drive home after the procedure when the booking was made. I did query it.
According to the hospital nursing staff I have “wiggly” veins in my hands & forearms. The first attempt at sticking the cannula in failed when the needle went into the vein OK but snagged on the wall of an unseen “wiggle.” This produced much pain and a second attempt by another nurse was needed.
Nurse number one said she’d lost confidence so another volunteered to have a go on my other arm, this time in the back of the hand. He was successful in his quest & 55 minutes later the iron solution had gone in & been flushed through with a similar amount os saline.
I then tried to drive home.
Ha!
Friday traffic going west from the hospital was bumper-to-bumper. The other option was to head east in a he general direction of home. But at the top of the hill on the eastward route is a large secondary college whose inmates were being released at the end of the school week.
Traffic in three directions from the roundabout atop the hill was also chock-a-block. My phone’s navigation app said I should head north, then west, followed by north again before heading west and making a u-turn at another roundabout. This got me heading towards home on a busy main road.
I was starting to get drowsy, not a good combination in thick traffic on a wet road, so I ducked into a small shopping centre and had a coffee in a nice little café until the traffic had settled somewhat.
I’m very tired, probably from lack of quality sleep & not enough iron in my system.
Had my first Amazon Prime packages delivered this morning. I know was on the toilet when the three items packed into one box arrived, I heard the front screen door being opened: the arrangement if no-one is home is to put the items between the screen door & the wooden door if the package will fit.
But damn it, I was at home. The pricks could have tried ringing the doorbell.
