Re: Power outage, aaargh!!!


Sat on the porch reading a very dull issue of Time magazine (too much about soccer and the upcoming World Cup which I'm not remotely interested in), grumbled with my next door neighbor about the power loss, made two calls to the power company who kept advancing the repair completion time, tried to get Leia to play but she was not in the mood. It was drizzling so couldn't go in the garden, fill the feeder or get grass for herself. A thoroughly unproductive time!

What a shame Eileen - glad your power is now restored. It's the not being able to make tea that would annoy me most! (Typical Brit.)

That must have been very annoying DM.

Glad it got sorted though

Re: Power outage, aaargh!!!


I'd planned a lovely shrimp creole for dinner, but with no electricity, ended up making shrimp salad (shrimp were cooked) and crisps. No tea, no chocolate chip cookie with it! Double Bah!
