First Black-Out

We’ve been here for 3 days and, as I am typing this, are experiencing our first power cut, starting around 6:40 PM, after sundown.  Alex was chillaxing, watching the movie Rango on the laptop, Worth was reading “The Long Way Down” by Ewan McGregor and I was taking a relaxing bath.  Emma has already made little friends and is at her first sleepover!
With no warning, the whole house was thrown in the dark.  Immediately, Worth told Alex not to move, found the emergency candles, set in wine bottles and the matches. Within seconds, we had candlelight.  Alex kept on watching his movie on the laptop, Worth had resumed his reading and I was able to finish my relaxing bath by candlelight ;)
PS: Power is already back on, the cut lasted at most 30 minutes!  Nothing compared to some of the DEMCO cuts we’ve had in Copper Mill before!!
