What a start to the month!

We had a power cut from nine until about half past four. No heat, no light, no internet. Ten minutes to boil a kettle on the hob. Every text update was worse than the one before, each postponing the expected reconnection time.
I was SO COLD. And now I’m way behind with a lot of things I needed to do online. I'm so sorry for anyone who gets cut off for days.
