Power cut near Port Dickson, Sunday 1st August 2010

Sunday, August 1st, 2010

Mid-way through showering the kids (lazy Sunday!) the power went again. It's a bit easier during the day, we can still see and the kids are quite happy to be hosed down with cold (the tank in the attic must be nearly blood temperature!) water. I can't check with the ...
