Power-less

Our electricity supply has been interrupted a few times recently - after an actual power cut back in January, we were officially switched off for a day in February while the electricity people did some major replacement of the local infrastructure.

Now today we're off again as they rewire us to the pole . . .

We're reliably informed (by an electricity man) that they aren't actually allowed to switch us off again now for another 12 months - although hopefully they've done all they need to do now.

For today's 'outage' we had also invested in a small leisure battery and inverter - which kept the freezers running, and will in due course be used to power things in the garage using the solar.
