No, A.C. for everything electric.

That's the inlaws, not us. Theirs must be DC I guess (they live about 900 km away). Mains electricity here is 220 v A.C.

It's freakishly warm here for All Saints' day, the 1st of November.

72°F, or 22.2 °C.

The local bears are eating everything in sight, having a field day. I've seen 2 in the past 3 days.

Big'uns afoot, moving fast.

These saba bananas were totally green yesterday. They are now yellow with green spots. Maybe it's just an uneven ripening process. I'll see tomorrow.

The past few days have been very cold and frosty, today is quite warm so we have windows open to let in some fresh air.

Watching the lead up to the Scotland v Wales rugby match, 1 of the Scottish players is the son of Gavin Hastings so no pressure there! How old do I feel, I remember watching his dad play

They look exactly the same today. I peeled and ate one. It appeared and tasted normal.

Not a very inspiring game, but at least the right side won.

I was surprised England beat South Africa, didn't see the game just the results.

I am struggling to get my head around that - how old was I, and how old must she have been when I had those fantasies Anyway, probably the best TV series ever.
