So I get home. It's dark, so I figure the neighbours are out. Then I notice a flickering light, so I figure they have the fire lit (*jealous*). Then I notice that there are candles dotted around the place, and the security light hasn't come on as I walked under it. The neighbour opens the window and says that both the power and the phones are out. Figures. He asks if I'm okay for light and stuff, I say I've got a torch, and some candles, hastily adding not that I use the candles of course (it is specified in the terms of my lease agreement no pets, no candles and no smoking).
Just wonderful really, it's dark, raining, windy, cold, and I've no heat or light in the flat. Just as well that
giant is cooking steak tonight.
Power had been off since three, cos thats when the timer on the heater stopped. I had one UPS left running, and that was only cos none of the devices attached to it were turned on. The others had all shut down long ago, although the laptop was still running under battery power.
Bah. Hope its back on for when I get home, otherwise I won't be able to wake up in the morning ;)
