I need to buy some N95 masks, apparently they're essential for going on planes? I didn't know, oops, but I need more flexibility in what I can do, especially with lots going on in the family right now. If anybody has any recommendations on sellers, please post, I'm completely ignorant!

Karma - you need an FFP2 if you're flying within Europe. N95s are US certified so may not count. But you need to check with the specific airline as to what they ask for. Most are OK with surgical or FFP2.13

2nd full day without any power. Changed settings on phone to get Internet occasionally on 2g. Preps working. 2 camping stoves providing hot food and drinks. Sunday dinner a doddle! Lots of torches and candles. A bit chilly but lots of layers to keep warm. Hoping the unopened full freezers keep things cold enough.2025 Fashion on the ration

Scottish Borders council just announced that any homes still without power won't be connected tonight, and in view of the extreme cold they are telling people to go and stay with friends or family as they can't guarantee when things will be fixed. It is very very cold here.

Well we have power again. Off for 39 hours and apart from the cold air we managed well. I have massive sympathy for people out on the streets... and so glad for a roof over our heads.2025 Fashion on the ration
