Well, we have again had a prolonged power cut. It went off yesterday at just after 2pm, and it has just come back on. (About 2.30pm) So 24 hours without light, heat, or hot water. I have almost got a system going now, as this isn't the first time by any means . So it's a large cauldron of water heating on the (gas) stove. The kettle out of the cupboard to sit on the gas, and I gathered odd bits of wood to light the wood-burner.
I have a system whereby I fill a bowl with hot water, put it in the shower, and stand in it to have a wash-down. The big cauldron does for washing the dishes, and we can still have a cup of tea whenever.
But I have to say, that when the power came back on, it was a big relief. What softies we have become!!
Still..it's lovely to have the house warm again. One good thing, our fridge kept cold extremely well, so no loss of food at all.
