Going out with a bang
I was sitting on the sofa yesterday at 4.00, drinking my cup of tea and aghast at the headlines from the Guardian as usual, when there was a loud bang from somewhere outside. The lights dimmed, the internet went off and came back on again, and the flickering continued for a few minutes. Things settled down soon enough, and I went about my business, only to find the pump wasn’t working, and there was no water in the taps. On further investigation, we discovered that one of our three circuits was out, but the other two were working, so I ran a long extension cable across the courtyard to plug in the water pump, so we were only without power in the bedroom, and one wall of the house, including were the TV pugs in, not that we need it at 4.00 in the morning. Later, while writing this, actually, the power went off again, so perhaps someone is fixing whatever went bang, and we’ll be back on all three circuits soon. I hope so, otherwise, I won’t be able to post this, and there would have been no point in writing it…
Oh, it’s just been sorted, and we’re back to normal. Now all we need is for the mains water to come on (it didn’t arrive on Wednesday) as there is only a couple of inches left in the tank.
And now, some end of the week photos. Have a good weekend.
