The Day of the Power Cut

It started out as any other weekday morning. Begrudgingly acknowledging my alarm's insistence that it was time to get up, I crawled out of bed only to find that there were several lights not turning on. Having had such problems before, I opened the boiler closet, ready to reset the fuse lines which may have gone down in the night.

Much to my surprise, they were all okay. But everything in the flat was off. Thus began a day of no power which lasted until almost midnight. Unable to open the fridge, or the freezer, and with no power to cook any of the tinned food, it was biscuits for breakfast.

To make the day worse, the fix-by time was constantly being pushed back. With the front door being operated by pin, one could get out, but once out, there was no getting back in. (If that makes any sense...)

In short, my day was thoroughly turned upside down. I managed to pre-order a take away before my phone died. I was not impressed.

Unfortunately, I was supposed to meet Emma Caulder in the studio today, but I couldn't. Hopefully I can get some extra time with her next week, but she is a very busy woman.

Hence, today has been quite busy, trying to make up for lost time, and re-purchasing food I had to throw away.

Woe was me.
