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.

Rules for submitting comments:
1. No profanity. I maintain the pretense that this is a family-friendly site.
2. Stay on topic. A bit of straying and off-hand commenting is okay, but hijacking the discussion is right out.
3. No ad hominem attacks. Attack the subject, not the other person on the thread and keep the discussion civil.
4. No spamming or commercial endorsements. These get deleted immediately.
Tip: Beware of putting hyperlinks in your comments–especially at the end. For some reason, Blogger interprets these as spam.
Note: Due to the recent spate of anonymous spamming, registration for comments is now required.
