THE Prepping thread - a new beginning :)

The other bit is to survive yourself. For the funeral any offers of "Can I bring anything" - 99% of the time, "cake" is a splendid answer, unless you have more detailed instructions.

The deceased is at rest. Many novice Executors can fumble on that little essential. LLL, please look after *yourself* too! Those who still live, still need you too.

On a completely different note, a pal currently doing a first aid course confirms torniquets are coming back into acceptable use (in very unexpected circumstances), but are *not* usual First Aid At Work. If you're on a first aid course, it can't hurt to ask & has to be a bit safer than some enthusiast-with-an-app.

Hello.

Anybody there?

Shhhh! I'm trying to organise a freegle pickup (they're lost in the 'hood, this could end badly) and sort out me supper.

If the world needs to end right now, it'll have to take a ticket and stand in line, I'm busy.

If the world ends, I still need a bit of a break, so I'm having one

:T Too right. I know where my tank driver fake fur hat with the ear-flaps and my y@xtr@x are, so if blizzard conditions reach this far south, I should be OK. Only a 5 minute toddle from home to t'office (I tried commuting once for five days and decided I didn't like it).

Incoming freegler somewhere in the neighbourhood, hopefully the locals won't scare them away. Shoebox Towers, where even the police alsations go in pairs........... :rotfl:

ETA; freegler been and gone (she brought a body-guard, must have known the neighbourhood's rep) so I can now make a couple of phonecalls and organise supper before the TEOTWAWKI.

I'm despondent. When I make my breakfast porridge, I use organic rolled oats, tap water and the cheapest table salt I can buy. Total number of ingredients = 3.

I see that according to the current Waitrose comic, I've got it all wrong. Their recipe for a bowl of porridge lists 15 ingredients, three of which I've never heard of.

Oh, what it must be like to have sophisticated tastes ...

:embarasse

You get the waytrose comic? There's posh for you.

Porridge with 15 ingredients? Heck, I don't think I've ever cooked anything with so many things in it, even if it's a proper recipe.

I am now about to start supper. First, I will retrieve two home-grown potatoes from the sack in the bedroom. They will be irradiated and served with butter and a salad. That will make the third salad of the day. I will also have some sardines with them, as I am phasing out the very large cans of sardines and moving into hoarding small cans.

After all, if the leccy's down, refrigerating fish wouldn't be do-able.

Onwards!
