  1. I’m so glad you had no major damage from the storms and you at least had some heat with the wood heater. Our power was out for nine hours one day a couple of weeks ago for “upgrading equipment” in our neighborhood, so I totally understand missing the conveniences we have grown to love!! In 1993 we had 18″ of snow and no power for three days. In that house we had a wood/coal free standing heater and a fire place insert and thankfully lots of wood and coal!! We used the snow as a refrigerator!! If nothing else, we can all be creative in situations when we need be, right?! I hope you are warm and cozy now. And I’m very happy to hear you are out of lockdown! Have a great weekend, Joy!

  2. Glad to hear that you are out of lockdown! Stay safe and warm! Hope you don’t have anymore power outages. I have a treadle machine and two hand crank sewing machines, so I can always sew!

  3. Yay for Victoria being out of lockdown. I’ll be glad when border restrictions lift so i can visit Mum in NSW. Cross fingers etc that nothing changes the Premier of good old QLD’s mind. :). I hope you don’t lose power again. Hugs, xx

  4. Good to talk yesterday & so glad you found the missing bits. Lucky we didn’t have the power out, but the trees down around here will take well into the new year to be cleared completely. When you are more sorted with the groundworks, we’ll be able to get across & yay for being out of lockdowns for the time being. We hope to get to see our boys and grandchildren soon in N.S.W., some we haven’t seen for 2 to 3 years. Take care & hugs. PS: I’ll try and get back into blogging.

  5. Hi Joy, That is a neat camp stove. I am quilty of putting things away and then no remembering where I put them. Good thing you found your material. Glad your electric came back on. We are not well prepared for electric being off unless we don’t lose gas also. We have a gas fireplace and a gas cookstove so hoping they both don’t go off at once! Nancy

  6. That’s a long time to be without power! A shame you lost the panels but at least there was no damage to your property. We have a tractor run generator to run the cowshed if the power goes off during milking, but nothing for the house; we’d be like you camping cookers and candle light! Great you’re out of lockdown – looks like you enjoyed your first visit out!

  7. Having the occasional power outage just makes us appreciate it more. Glad to hear you’re out of lockdown and hopefully it will last. Things are slowly opening up here too but we’re not comfortable with being out too much so we’re happy to continue to stay home as much as we can.

  8. We don’t often have the power out, thankfully. I do have emergency candles and heat and a few other preparations for if it happens, though! And lots of warm quilts if it happens in winter. I’m glad yours came back on and you could stay warm with the stove even without the fan.

Thanks so much for taking the time to leave a comment! I will reply via email as soon as I can!
