Well, it's happened again!! The power came back on yesterday afternoon...amid general cheers. Then last night, at about 9.30pm...off it went again.
Once again...off all night...so no shower AGAIN this morning...just the wash-down in the basin in the shower, and it was a freezing morning too. Tiff left at about 5am, and David Hill Road was closed....tree down. When I went to Monbulk at about 9.45am....still closed, and when I returned at 10.30 STILL closed! How long does it take all these men with massive chainsaws to clear a tree trunk?
At 11.30am the power came back on......another 14hours without. This must be some sort of record.
We reminisced about the good old days, when the SEC would come hurtling down the road in their trucks to repair lines, no matter what time of day or night. Not so now.
Anyhow...let's hope we get an uninterrupted power supply for a little while. At the moment I am in the midst of catching up with about 28 loads of washing , and , ominously, the wind is still blowing the trees about wildly. Just let me at least finish the washing before anything else happens!!
