I was in the shower, covered in soap! It wasn’t so bad without the heater, but the lack of a pump meant that there was only a dribble coming out of the upstairs shower head. It was pitch black in the small wash room so that I struggled to find the door!<\/p>\n
I’d been fiddling about with some inverters recently with the idea of selling them online. That was lucky, because there was a car battery and small inverter on the office worktop. I could at least plug in a desklamp. The streetlights have gone off outside, so it really is ‘darkest PD’ at the moment.<\/p>\n
The thing that bothers me most about the services failing here is that they all seem to depend on each other. The phone is also dead. I can’t help thinking there must be people having a bad time somewhere in the pitch black and needing to call an ambulance or something. They can’t!<\/p>\n
Oh well, I’d better tidy up and go to bed before that battery runs flat – it’s not fully charged. I’m not looking forward to joining the rest of the family in the bedroom, without ceiling fan and aircon, that’s going to be sweaty! I hope you have light, power, fan and aircon wherever you are. My Dell Mini9 was charged, and DiGi’s network is still up, so at least\u00a0 I got my message in a bottle off!<\/p>\n
… that’ll teach me to keep the battery charged, just got beeped by the inverter. No light until the morning then. Night!<\/p>\n
Update 13th July – power came back just before 2am, according to one of my computers that was set to automatically boot when power is restored. I’m a heavy sleeper, so I was dimly aware of the aircon, ceiling fan, kids’ night-light coming back on, and the street-lights streaming through the open windows and curtains – in a “Wassat? Oh power’s ba…zzzzz” kind of way.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I was in the shower, covered in soap!
