So here we go , one of my sad blog posts on the subject of prepping just to bore you all to death ...lol Now Mr Bah Humbug is all of a panic because theres a shortage of fishing hooks because they are all made in China and fishing bait is also getting very expensive in fact most hobby stuff is getting scarcer , i noticed that glue of various types is getting a bit thin on the ground the other day , but im not to worried i have mountains of craft stuff gleaned from my travels and im good at improvising anyway , do you remember making flour and water glue for scrapbooks many years ago?
We had plums that ive bottled this week in a huge crumble that lasted for 3 days , asparagus from the freezer and carrot and swede mash as well , this was the time of year i had stored it all for , it just adds to the variety in our diets theres not a lot of fresh fruit and veg in a village with no shop and an overpriced community market for the wealthy . Seed potatoes were bought early and they seem to be vanishing quickly from the garden centers , theres tons of onion sets about so i picked up a mixed bag , the garden is still waterlogged and flooded but the kale is having a bit of a fit so i need to make some green powder in the dehydrator . I need to split loads of plants into pots just because there is talk of condemning the house we are in , so thats yet another worry , they have a duty to rehouse us but it may well be in a tower block so im hoping to drag it out till harvest , we have to be careful that they dont put you in a B&B because theres no escape from them , thankfully him selves disability doesnt make it easy for them to get us out . Who knows what they will do the builders refusing to work on the house has caused a big stink and somebody locally has been on the TV about their ceiling collapsing and hit a family member so they need to do something
I've got problems commenting. Google won't let me sing in to comment on blogs, but I can sign in to write to my own blog. And many times I can't comment on blogs even if they allow anonymous comments. I've no idea what's going on.
ReplyDeleteI have stored rice and veg oil, because they are imported and if there's another vessel stuck in Suez channel we'll never get those. Someone said there will be tea shortage - well I have enough teas to keep me for at least five more years, and during that time I might learn how to ferment/dry/prepare herbs and leaves to get something slightly liking to black tea. Luckily I do not drink coffee.
Your house seems to be more and more horrible, but I can't see you being settled in a flat...

What an awful situation with your house. I hope you can be rehoused in something that is suitable for your needs or at least is wind and watertight. Catriona
