There has been a huge storm raging.
Then suddenly. Bang XXXX all the power went out.
We've been without power for hours and I had an adventure cooking eggs and tomatoes by candlelight, and making toast over the fire. We finished it off with chocolate and the company of a neighbor who only has electricity, no gas.
Fortunately it's back on again but its a bit scary out here in the studio.. so I think I will retire.
We don't realize how much we rely on electricity.
I need my computers, ipad, ipod and nano…for a start. Lights are an advantage as are my sewing machines, tv's and irons. Oh, then again we need the washing machine and the dryer…and an iron.
I think I could manage without my electric toothbrush, facebook and the phone because I use the cell phone…..Thats about it.
Storm has just come to Launceston, verrrry loud!!!
Hugz,
Pam, I agree. You don’t realize what you take for granted until you don’t have it, even for a few hours. There’s always tomorrow to work in the studio.
We’ve been pretty lucky for a couple of years; no transformers hit by lightning. I especially hate when it happens during the summer and there’s no AC!!
pam we are dependent on electricity….i can weave a spin without it as long as it was daylight hours…
