Black outs!

We have had several days referred to as “black outs”.  These are power cuts – no electricity.  We normally expect these to happen on a Sunday and have to be prepared. However we have also experienced them at various times during the week without warning.  One morning, luckily I had just made it out the warm shower and all the shampoo was washed out my hair.  Another evening we were fortunate to have just finished cooking our dinner on the electric cooker so we were able to enjoy eating by candlelight.  Nevertheless on Tom’s last evening here we were in the middle of preparing omelette when suddenly the power went off.  You do not know how long the power will be off so we had cheese sandwiches and orange juice instead.

A big “thank you” to our friends for the solar powered radios.  We use them all the time!
