Let there be light!
Living in another country is always an interesting experience. There is always something to learn, another way to do things, and things are just different in general. For instance, power. In the US, people take power for granted. Power, as in electricity. This week, always when Rob is at work, I have experienced a lack of power. On Tuesday, I turned on the porch light, only to have it blow out and all the other house lights go out with it. No problem, made a journey through the flat in the dark to find the fuse box, which turned out to be outside. Lights back on and all is well. Wednesday comes, Rob leaves to go to work. All is well, I’m quietly writing email to Jason and the lights and heater go off. This time as I go out to the fuse box (so much easier to find in the light) I hear the neighbors checking as well. It’s a power loss for the neighborhood. For no foreseeable reason. There is no bad weather, or teams working down the street, or anything. Just no power. So I spent some time at a restaurant/coffeeshop down the street, read for a while, and several hours later power comes back on. Just as easily as it went away. Just in time for me to turn on the electric blanket and go to bed.
