I absolutely loved having electricity last evening! I turned on the PC, watched a few episodes, enjoyed a warm bath (waiting for the water to get hot would have taken too long), turned on the lights every time I entered a room - instead of having to carry a torch around! It was awesome!
I took the dough out of the fridge, after I had fed the ferals, kneaded it a bit - but it wouldn't rise. So, when the power came on, I started baking for 2 minutes, then turned it off - giving it a warm cubicle to rise in. It did rise, but not much. Another turd loaf, I'm afraid - and I let it rise a whole hour!
I watched Supernatural until about nine, then turned everything off and went to sleep ...
I woke and got up quite early this morning ... off to work, traffic was no issue.
The bread turned out fluffier than the last one. On the whole, though, I think the 'freeze and toast' slices option will be the better one here ... especially now, in winter.
Load shedding this afternoon from four to six. Meh! None during the night, but tomorrow morning from six to ten! Then again from two to six, and ten to midnight. That means I have four hours from ten to two to do all work that requires electricity! Unbe-fucking-lievable! Sunday load shedding from six to eight, then again two to six and ten to midnight. So on Sunday I have six hours ... let's hope they announce a drop in Stages for the weekend!
No, I haven't decided what I'll do this afternoon, yet. Right now I don't feel like doing anything. I'll see what I feel like when I get home ... better publish now ...
When I got home, I cleared thorns out of the back lawn. Power came on at six, I enjoyed the first really hot bath in a long time! Next load shedding was only scheduled at six Saturday morning, so I thought I could listen to an audiobook on the PC. No such luck. Power went off around half past nine! Poof! No rain, no wind, no reason ... I reported it and went to sleep. Power came on at eleven ...
