Day 88

Happy Christmas Eve!

This evening as I was trying to finish making preparations for Christmas and decide which service to go to, the power went out – or “lights out” as we say here. It didn’t last long – though I wasn’t sure how long it would last – and it reminds me how we take fore granted how lucky we are to have constant power in the UK, day in day out. The power here’s pretty good, but every so often you’ll get a few weeks when it’s out all day for several days.
