I am one of those people who have no idea about electricity and how things work………..if you want a battle of wits on this subject you should note that I am unarmed.
What I do know is that when you don’t have any it’s a real bugger. That’s what happened last night……..we had a power cut. These used to happen a lot back in the 70′s and 80’s and I remember my Mum putting out the candles and it being quite the adventure. Back in those days all you lost was the lights, heating and TV and as I said it was fun. I remember also my Dad telling us a story using just a deck of cards and it really never bothered anyone.
Today however it is a bit different and last night the power went out and I lost my TV, lighting, coffee machine, DVD player and my raspberry which was charging. Of course we had no candles in the house and that was me………..sitting in the dark with absolutely nothing to do, no cup of coffee or tea and an uncharged raspberry. To make matters worse Heidi was in the shower and she was not happy immediately blaming me for this thinking I was playing a trick on her.
