We're in the UK. We're semi-rural.
30 petrol stations up near the Midlands had an issue getting fuel late last week. It happens, rarely, and would have not been an issue. But the media covered it, stirred up fear, and in less than 72 hours almost all petrol stations in the UK have now run out.
There is plenty of oil in the refineries, and perhaps 150 drivers too k few across the whole of the United Kingdom which shows panic buyers are being stupid again. We saw it in the late 90s, but that was a strike by the lorry drivers: people buy the fuel they truly don't need, just in case, and that quickly gets worse. This it really bad quicker than I'd expected
Jo has a couple of days worth of fuel to get to work...people are getting stuck away from home, unable to return as there is no fuel... she should drive to work 4 times this week...
@MaryMamuzich definitely avoid those then!
It should sizzle when you add the batter. I've never got mine hot enough for that yet though
I've switched to 5ml of oil per pudding...still seems enough....
@Olamide @tymektt Thanks my Polish brother 🙂 .That's so encouraging & timely
Right now, while peaceful, I'm wondering about fuel for our car (up to 85% of petrol stations in the UK have don't have any fuel left, due to the media & panic buyers). We have Jesus, and peace, but there are many far worse off than us, & many more still who don't know they can turn to Jesus.
I called a late night family prayer meeting last night to pray for my nation, to turn to Jesus, and repentance.
Last night we also consecrated our recording studio! It had been growing on my heart that we should do something more to dedicate it, so we prayed & blessed our equipment, created a small alter as a symbol that it is a sacred space & not just a corner of our lounge, and will light a candle while filming to remind us of the presence of the Holy Spirit
(The 5 bottles are 1 one from each of us, so we all brought omething, to show we are, all, equally committed)
@MaryMamuzich awesome 🙂 mine, at dinner, didn't rise at all. Tasted great, but didn't turn out as well as yours!
No fuel then!
We tried 5 petrol stations this evening to fill the car, so we didn't have to go out tomorrow...Jo has enough for two days right now, maybe - this situation blew up real quick! 72 hours....or less?
Met a guy tonight, who was nearly at the point of tears. He's spent the entire weekend ringing around garages, and then driving around, trying to find some fuel...he has 30 miles left in his car...he do any know what to do
Panic buyers....government blames the road haulage...everyone blames Brexit....but Brexit isn't the problems and neither is the RHA
The government was warned, and ignored the warnings...Brexit simply shone a light on the already existing problem
Meanwhile I'm waiting for my letter from the government asking me to consider returning to lorry driving....but I couldn't get there even if I wanted to
We've just got the older boys down to pray for our nation...we met many frightened and worried people who tonight
What a state our nation is in!

@MaryMamuzich @bethany Good quality then!
@MaryMamuzich @bethany @StevenBerry @TakeN that's my plan...prayed every night, since before they were each born, for their future wives :-)
@MaryMamuzich @bethany that's kind...I make good food for my family...the chef part? You'd have to ask them - @StevenBerry @TakeN
My older son's can both scratch cook a range of meals though, from curry to lasagna, to everything in between
Steven is especially adept, but Nathan is learning well too
When I married Jo I couldn't cook or clean...(I wasn't really allowed as a child)
They can do it all! 😉
@MaryMamuzich interesting. I've never seen one of those before
Seems very similar in idea to our sandwich maker - only the shape after cooking would be different
@MaryMamuzich @bethany today's effort. But my slow cooked chicken is still very raw - after 5 hours!! - So I'm rapidly cooking up a pack of sausages instead
@TakeN I didn't even come close to that!!
Obvious when you are the abswer. I was looking for something much complex!
We do have Birds Eye potato waffles (waffly versatile)
That was their tagline and advert back in the day lol
@MaryMamuzich makes sense...its just not what my tired brain imagined up
@bethany Er.....that's kind of cool! Didn't know that either
