What a week!   Four power failures in two days, some lasting for 9 hours.  We ended up with the supply coming from a generator truck for most of the week (which, incidentally, also blew the generator and caused yet another power outage!!!).  We reverted to candles for illumination, playing cards by torchlight for entertainment and my kids discovered that there are other things in life than MSN Messenger.
