Well, we lost power for just over 2 hours … very unpleasant. We were in the middle of seeing who was about to win one of the wheelchair races (800 metres) at the Para Olympics and …
Puff … no electricity. There were two very loud bangs outside and, we knew something had blown. The OH checked on their phone and, sure enough. There was an alert. Like, the people in our area didn’t already know.
Still, made us go read a book and sit on the couch and have a conversation. 😛
