Powerless again

Jun 12, 2006 14:53


The power's been out for most of the day, over most of Auckland and about a quarter of the North Island (down to Hamilton). We just got it back here at work, just before I'm due to go home, but it isn't on there. I know, because Greg's there because 1) he couldn't work without power and 2) we were worried the burglars might take advantage of the outage to come back for more, even though our alarm has an excellent battery backup.

I'm going home soon, so if people don't hear from me for a while, it's because we're still blacked out. I was looking forward to a games evening tonight too; I hope it--and the power--are still on.

[Edit] It's back. Yay. I can have dinner, a nice hot cup of tea, and go to my games evening. :-D And do some proper work tomorrow instead of reading Falling Free all day in the half-light.
