Just when you think............................
.............................................. You'll get away with a cracking day.
This selling business is all new to me, not used to people turning up at different times, via appointments, it has thrown me out a bit. So I decided no viewings after Noon today. Need a bit of time to myself. So, the only viewing today was at 11am. Nice couple with a wee child. Had a good look round and I answered all there questions. And they left. The rain had now turned to snow, not settling to begin with, but then it was settling mainly on the cars. I had planned to attend the MGRSE meet at the Halfway House, been revived from being mothballed awhile back. But decided against going. So the plan was to chill out and gave a leisurely lunch and watch the snooker on the box. Then the phone rang, it was my good friend Bob, fancy a beer he asked, about 4pm in the Unicorn. Mmmmm!!!!! Ok then said I. So my lunch was not so leisurely, watched a bit of the snooker. Hat, gloves and coat on and down to the pub. I left the gas fire on low, be nice and toasty when I got home. Left the porch light on and to the pub I went. Came home to total darkness, other than the glow of the gas fire. We've had a power cut. Must be the first one for about 5 years. So I rang national grid who informed that there was a problem. The engineers had made a temporary repair and would be back tomorrow to carry out a full repair. TOMORROW!!!!!!!! What about my elderly neighbour's? How were they supposed to cope. Not the fault of the bloke on the other end of the phone. Oh! Well! At least the iPad has power, hence this report. And I have a good supply of candles. Plus a reasonable stock of single Malt. Just have to wait then......................... I spy with my little eye something beginning with D.....................

Power back on for almost everyone....................
............................................... You can guess who the two flats without power? Yup! Us. Downstairs and me, upstairs. After both of us, my neighbour and I, repeatedly phoned National Grid a couple of engineers arrived at 11.45pm. They first checked the sub station. All ok there. But no power from the street into downstairs. That's where my power comes in as well.
1am and another van arrives with two more engineers. Now they need one of the cars taken off of the hard standing, neither being mine. So Hayley, my neighbour, moves her partners car off and parks up in the road. ((Her other half is away on a course)). 2.30am and a third van arrives towing a generator, which is now parked on the hard standing, and both wheels are clamped. Connected the cables up to the power supply downstairs and hey! Presto! We have power. Well at least all the stuff in the freezer was saved. Just now have to re-set the clock on the cooker.

If you are on a genny, its pointless setting any clocks - they will need resetting when they put you back on mains supply..

Would love to post pictures but the lap top refuses to post them on here. Been like that since the forum had some downtime before Xmas. As for the cooker clock you need a PHD in science to figure it out.
