Grrr it is time for a rant!
We have had no power for the past 22 hours and it's only just come back on. During that time we have called Western Power or whatever they're called now relentlessly to report it only to be told that there is no problem. Well duh! Don't they think we know we notice when all our labour-saving devices and electronic creature comforts suddenly come to a halt? Then we were told it'd be fixed by 11am today. Then they said midday. Then 5pm.
It's not only our house, both our neighbours have been without power too, including Brad and Hayley who are away on holidays. So Dunc had to set up the generators to keep the fridge and chest freezer going.
Yeah I know we're too dependent on electricity. Yeah I'm grateful that it's back on. Yeah we didn't suffer apart from a sleepless night cos it was so hot without aircon. Yeah I know people did it tough before aircon was invented. Well, good for them!
But the whole time we were contacting Western Power, we were getting the vibe that we weren't worth their worry because we're out in the country. They probably think that if we're a bunch of hobos living in woop-woop then this is what we can expect. I bet if it were a few city slickers whinging their pretty little butts off, they'd jump to help.

Now that won´t probably lighten your mood.. but honestly. I can´t remember we got cut off electricity ever.
Must be an odd feeling!
I got cut off from hot water once. In winter. Not funny.
