What a start to the month!

We had a power cut from nine until about half past four. No heat, no light, no internet. Ten minutes to boil a kettle on the hob. Every text update was worse than the one before, each postponing the expected reconnection time.
I was SO COLD. And now I’m way behind with a lot of things I needed to do online. I'm so sorry for anyone who gets cut off for days.

I’m so sorry you had such a cold awful day.

Thank you! It makes you realise how thin the veneer of civilisation is.

Poor old you, glad it's back on. I admit I am like a child with regards power cuts and get quite excited, lighting the candles and getting out the duvet for warmth and the whistle kettle to pop on the gas stove. Not so keen on losing the wi-fi though. I expect I'd soon tire of it if it was more than a day and the novelty wore off.

OH, lucky you. I absolutely hate them! They said power should be back by five but I was preparing myself for the worst.

Belatedly very sorry to hear that! I hate powercuts too.

Thank you. I'm glad it's not just me. They make me feel panicky, which is silly but I can't help it.
