Taking things for granted

[moonraker558]

Just got indoors from a small p/t job this morning knowing that the electric is going to be off from 0900-1500. Anyway just managed to make a cup of tea and watch a bit of the election results from the USA when it went off at 0920. So there I am thinking what to do with myself and it went something like this:
If there is no tv I thought I would watch a dvd instead...bugger.

I thought I would have a kip in my recliner forgeting I have just renewed it from a mechanlcal one to electric...bugger

I then thought I would switch the computer on upstairs and check my lottery...bugger.

No problem I will use my mobile to check...no Wi Fi...bugger.

Ok I will then use my mobile internet to look it up...no signal...bugger

Ha, I know I will get my notebook out and use that until the battery drains...no Wi Fi..bugger

Ah! As Mrs Moony has decided to stay with her friend all day I would have the whole garage to myself and vax and clean the inside of my car...no electric...bugger.

It is now getting cold in the house and I have been awake most of the night with a sciatic nerve give me jip so here I am cold tired and hungry and on nights tonight, so a bowl of soup in the microwave would be nice...bugger.
so I am off to bed as that's about the only thing that is not electric...( and before you ask no there isn't)
Shh, Keep the noise down you lot.ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ.
Leckie back on at 1345 so good job I didn’t moan about it.

Yes we forget how much we rely on electricity. OH insisted on getting an electric fire what he doesn't know is that I've kept the grate etc. sticks and coal in a safe place for an emergency
