Power outages becoming too frequent

February 14th, 2014 1 min read

Many mornings when I wake up at 4.30am to finish up my work backlog on the computer before preparing to go to work, there is a power blackout.

You can imagine the trouble of sharing candles and lamps with small school children as we all rush to get ready for a new day.

It has happened to me a number of days in the last two weeks and I wonder sometimes why I bothered to connect power at all to my home if I can’t have it when I most need it.
