power failure
Sunday night, so soon after the 10th
shrills Suddenly an alarm system going. At the same time, all the lights in the house. Class.
After a few minutes searching and confused three attempts to resist better knowledge to turn the light switch, then I find my flashlight. Thank God I have taken them. And since I recently dropped my CD player down and waiting to be stuck, I even had batteries left. My
Funzel is the only one in the house, and we do not even have candles, the only other that comes close to a light source, Imène phone. Well, maybe Mark has also, but the shows of the whole situation and make phone calls still heartily unimpressed. I think he calls more than myself, and that's saying something. I really wonder sometimes whether he actually ever calls to China. With the mobile phone. I mean, I did last week but so about 50 pounds of phone calls to Germany, because I do not want to know how expensive it is, on the other side of the planet ... But I digress.
So, it's dark, and I am going to the fuse box. Thank God I had seen him as the electrician had repaired the shower, otherwise we would have to look to now. But all the fuses are in there. It can therefore not be. Then I have an idea, and I go to the window and look out again. Well, the road is not quite dark, the houses on our side there is. Crap. It also meet a few people on the street, but they are not smarter than us. Rachel and Ben, our landlords are now using the Car home. Such a complete power failure, it would have been unprecedented. They had no idea what it was.
A neighbor, who called the power company said that say if it was something with the station, it lasted two or three hours if it is on cable, there are six or seven hours.
And what strikes us as a spontaneous? Right, the freezer. Since we currently store pretty much, because in the refrigerator just is not enough space for the three of us ;-)
Sigh, if indeed it takes seven hours, you can probably discard most of them. That would be with me the 15 pounds. I would have preferred calling. Well, is not so more ...
have long hoped that the finished until tomorrow morning. The showers work that is electric. Without power, no hot water.
UPDATE Monday morning:
No, it does not have got up in the morning. As we have so left just before eight against the house, there was still no electricity. Good Bye, Food. Hopefully it'll work
again when I get home, so entirely without electricity makes life namely no fun. And the battery of my laptop is already down to 78% ...
EDIT: Mark has left today to one's house, because we still had no electricity. * Sigh *
