2021 - What I did today

We had a power cut after some horrendous winds, the winds didn't last long, more like a mini hurricane, but the power was off from 9.30 to 4.30. I missed my daily dose of G&G. Had no idea when the leccy was going to be restored so planned for worse case and hoped for best. They estimated 9pm. Set up generator (with a bit of a kerfuffle), got Gaz lamps working, figured out evening meal on the stove top. All good fun but definitely missed my cooked brekky, eggs and bacon would be OK but couldn't figure out toast over the gas ring, so settled for cereal.

Looked in on next door, they were panicking because the couldn't reach me on the landline (now BT insist we go VOIP, no leccy, no phone) next door also rely on candles, frightens the daylights out of me. When our leccy came back on theirs didn't- checked the consumer unit. When he was investigating the power outage this morning he left the main power switch off! Their leccy would never have come on. Anyhow peace is now restored I really really don't want to get old........older
