Power On

The power has come back on and Chez Szondy has returned to the 21st century-- which is a relief, because if the electricity remained out until this afternoon we would have had the mother of all spontaneous barbecues to deal with a fridge full of warming meat.

Things haven't returned completely to normal, though. The wind storm that caused the failure knocked down trees all over the place, including several straight across our road.

And then there is the worst casualty of the episode; my nerves. Ever try to manage a brew up on a camp stove with one ear to the emergency shortwave while dealing with a four-year old without television to nail her down?

Not a pretty sight.
