Relatively good night, not the earliest of mornings, but not late, either. Treat mippies their breakfast, coffee, sit down for a smoke and cuddles ...
Twenty five past six: power off!
Checked the Electricity Group - reports coming in from far and wide! Clearly a bigger issue. Reported it. Off to work.
Got groceries. Kind of wish I had got milk yesterday - I see the price advertised for one brand 40% higher than yesterday's price! But I really didn't have any space left in my cooler bag. I can't see the price of the other brand, but take a bottle of that. Just checked my receipt, and it was even cheaper than the price at Ninapark yesterday! Cool!
They had only 2 cartons left of my brand of cigarette, so I took both. We're still getting on packet free per carton purchased.
By nine, power back on at home. Good!
Anyway, half five, almost time to feckoffsky!
Back at home, did my chores, then went out back to clean the corner along the fence, as that was bugging me from my armchair.
Power came on just after six. And went off again twenty, twenty five minutes later ...
Second power outage in one day!
I was still busy inside, when I heard my neighbour call from the gate. We had a lovely chat and we discussed this guy that called me to move into the outside room. Yes, he'd given him my number.
Funny thing, the guy's name is also Jan. Same as the last guy who wanted to rent a room from me.
My neighbour reckons that he's quiet - doesn't want to stay with the other workers because they are too noisy for his liking, and too rowdy - well mannered and a hard worker. Rather than being a security risk, he would increase my security. And he's also a hard worker, he could help me big time in my garden!
He'll come around so I can meet him and we can discuss the details on Saturday ....
Power came back before eight.
