It's over a year ago since we had a power cut. A storm brought the power lines down for practically the whole weekend.
We're better prepared now (I think) than we were then. If you can ever be?
Got the survival gear in hand.
It's not 'if' but 'when'
And it certainly gives you a different perspective on how to entertain yourself.
Thank you God for electricity.
Let there be light.
come the zombie apocalypse you will be one of the survivors!
ReplyDeleteWe always have candles and a lamp that runs from a spare car battery, Molly and thank goodness our hob is calor gas, so we can heat water and make food. You look well prepared.
ReplyDeleteI've been considering switching over to a natural gas stove..otherwise...I think we're pretty well prepared.

ReplyDeleteMolly - you look well prepared - lets hope you don't need to use them.
ReplyDeleteLast night I cooked with wood, heated with wood, and lit the sitting room with candles. The only thing we lacked was the 'power cut'.
ReplyDeleteWe used to have regular power cute at Railway cottage, so that we prepared a "power cut box" including an "old fashioned" plug in phone. It lays cobweb strewn under he stairs here at Hillside. Seems being nearer the town assures a more regular supply.
ReplyDeleteLooks like you're ready for the worst Molly.
"...don't know what you've got 'til it's gone'...as Joni would say. I was marveling yesterday at how many times I just turn on the tap and water runs. All those people in New York who had Sandy drop by and put and end to that for now. It pays to take stock, appreciate and plan. Glad you are prepared Molly.
ReplyDeleteGlad you're well prepared, Molly.
ReplyDeleteAs horrible as the storm Sandy was, things could have been worse if we were not warned and people were not prepared. With the changing weather patterns, we can probably look forward to more of the same. We have talked about getting a generator but not sure we will. They are very expensive.
ReplyDeleteit does make you wonder how we survive without electricity!!
