It was too good to last ... power off ... AGAIN

I slept quite well. Got up relatively early, made my filter coffee, cuddled mippies, off to work.

Oh gosh, NO! Power off AGAIN at home! Can't get a new reference number ... Tuesday's call hopefully re-opened ... At least this time, two neighbours also called!

This week, we've had more hours without power than with! All in all, since Monday morning - let's start at midnight - we've had 00:00 - 09:00 on Monday, 21:00 - 00:00 on Tuesday, 00:00 - 20:00 & 22:00 - 00:00 on Wednesday, and now 00:00 - 09:00 on Thursday. That's 9+3+20+2+9 = 43 hours out of 24*3+10 (it's now past ten) = 82. Or, if I start midnight Sunday, 57.5 hours out of 106! Less than 55% in both cases!

So, what's the problem? Apparently birds. When they descend en masse on the lines, lines touch, power goes poof! Why now and not before? Yeah, that I don't know.

Ah! One of my neighbours wisened up and got their landlords account number! Now, at least, we have 2 reference numbers!

Quarter to one, no news. Well, I guess I should hold on to the memory of the hot bath I had last night ... who knows when I'll be able to have another?

Well, it's nearly time to go home ... no power AT home, so ... better publish.

Hopefully I'll be in a better mood tomorrow.

And no, not back to the electricity, either - it's half three and no change.

I've been taking notes of some ideas I stumbled across today, that I'd like to try - maybe this weekend. At the least, I'll need light of some kind - daylight will do.
