As part of our Easter weekend we did a practice run of Earth Hour - turning off all electrical items at the wall except for the fridge for one whole hour between 8pm-9pm last Saturday. We showed Jack what life was like before electricity with just candles, he said it looked boring.
Jim and I on the other hand had a lovely conversation without distractions of the TV or skype or emails or kettles or anything going buzz or beep. So we plan to do the same thing on the official Earth Hour on 29 March knowing we are symbolically saving the planet and saving some off leccy bill too.
We also had an Easter egg hunt, picnic and ripping up of floorboards and our old kitchen so a busy weekend by all accounts. But we are not killing ourselves on this house, doing it bit by bit and once the new kitchen is in, it could be quite a long bit before we do anything further to it.
Oh and the best of all we have a lovely new leather sofa. Hurrah!!!!
