And then there was darkness













Then

there was darkness.

My mornings consist of rising early chatting with my bloggers and posting.

Sitting having two or more cups of java while I read all your lovely posts.Well after yesterdays post , a big ball of orange light came into the office.

My word what was that. DH looked outside and the tree accross from us had come down on the hydro lines and there was a big ball of flame.


...I forgot to mention that I was in the shower when all this was taking place.


OH NO , NO HYDRO... HOW AM I EVER GOING TO DRY MY HAIR....

You see my hair is natural curly. Without using the defuser I have the frizzies.


That should be the least of my problems. So for 6 hours we were in darkness.

The rains and the winds.. did I mention winds .. up to 90 clicks.

DH was on the phone right away Hydro explaining what happened.

We are in the country, so that means we have a sump pump. and with all that rain we have to make sure it does not leak into the basement. So DH kept a close eye on that sistuation. After 2 hrs and still no hydro DH got out the generator.

Plugged it into the sump pump.... hmmm, not working. Linda the sump pump is fried. OH NO !! So off DH goes to buy a new pump. He got that installed and then we waited. Horray ! here they are. I took some pictures of the men up the hoists just for you to seeThey arrive.....DONE..........





All fixed. Now for tea..





What a day that was.





until next time
