Power losses...

Out come the candles, by force...

This week has been rather interesting, I must say... Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday nights we had quite bad electrical storms and on each night we lost power... Was wonderful to see the village below us in darkness. :) Couple of lights illuminated as people had candles on or torches... I know of one couple that is off the grid and they made sure that they turned on all of their lights so that people knew they had power. hehe

We had no problems here off course. Part and parcel of being part of this household... We had the candles going and had our normal 20l water container with the tap on it over near the kitchen sink... Amazing how water wise the boys get when they can't just turn on a tap. :)

Either way had we lost power for a long time, (longer then the six odd hours on the Wednesday night) thanks to my brother, I would have been able to put on the generator anyway and plug it into the house to keep the fridge and freezer running... Am sooooo grateful for that. :)

Am also very grateful that none of the electrical storms hit us directly. There were allot of lightening strikes around. We could see them dancing in the night and Timothy especially was very scared. But we hung out together and all was good :)
