For me, my Headline news is that I finished my 80-page book and ordered it last night! With the pressure off, I was enjoying a FB Messenger chat with Pam @pamknowler when some siren blasts came through. She can attest that we were sufficiently warned! While the electricity is still on, Ken baked another batch of Ginger-Pear Scones...and I'm about to have one with another cup of coffee. I'm going to need some sustenance to brace for this impending blast!
@30pics4jackiesdiamond@salza I added a link to the recipe if you're interested. Blended together, the flavours are subtle, but the scones are oh-so-good with a warm beverage (coffee or tea)!
I would be stress eating! Glad you have lots of yummy food to remain calm, Louise! Take good care and stay safe! Congrats on finishing your photo book too!
@danette@casablanca@ljmanning@wakelys@30pics4jackiesdiamond@salza@epcello@agnesvanderlindeicloudcom@mastermek@koalagardens@salza@boxplayer@gardenfolk@jamibann@seattlite@pyrrhula Thank you all for the caring messages you left! One never knows what to expect from a hurricane in the neighborhood, but I found the sound of the wind to be lulling as we slept, and while now, at noon here, it's still breezy, I think the worst has passed and it wasn't bad for us at all. North of us, in Cape Breton and Newfoundland, they got the brunt of it, and I read details on a local news report. Thanks for checking in, and I've been emailing friends who've contacted us as well as via phone. It's like the Christmas Holidays when we get in touch with everyone! Without all the trimmings...haha!
It was very scary hearing the warning siren going! So pleased you were able to sleep and not much damage In Lunenburg! At least I knew you wouldn’t get flooded or washed away as your house is up the hill overlooking the harbour!
@salza@casablanca Thank you. I've been reading about the damages in Newfoundland and it's pretty awful. Some of those seaside communities are isolated and quite small.
Stay safe
@epcello You didn't say where your in-laws have a home, but I hope all is well for them when they return!
