Maddie likes to help with putting away the silverware - yesterday she actually sorted it into the right place, after some initial help. Most impressive.

The electricity went off for an hour and a half last night - due to some wild winds.

After a few minutes, Trev just gave up and said "Oh, the electricity is never going to be on again! We may as well just lie down and die!!!"

His drama amuses Eric and I quite often.
