Hang in there, Gabz!
We went without electricity from Christmas Eve through the day after Christmas one year. Some drunken doofus took out a power box down the road...and of course the town didn’t want to pay double-overtime for a holiday repair. *Rolleyes*
I understand the rolleyes on that one.
This wouldn’t bother me so much if I could get out into the garden, but it just won’t quit raining.
