In the immortal words of that chap from Top Gear ...

POWER!

After being woken by the beep beep of the ladder truck reversing into our improbably narrow lane, and listening to some 'Mate, no, this way, yeah ...', all of the lights in the house sprang into action and we were returned to the 21st century.

I have plugged everything in to recharge, am currently defrosting the short-haired cat in front of the heater, and can report minimal losses on the fridge front. And will shortly go back to bed, it being a quarter before the hour of five.

Before I do, though, HAPPY BIRTHDAY [livejournal.com profile] enchanted_jae , may it be as lovely, inspiring and generous as you are!

Must dash, need to rotate the cat to thaw out the other side ...

How bizarre: I took was without electricity all day today, and got it back about when you did. Are we leading parallel lives? Do you have purring cat in your lap right now, work you're trying to avoid, 4 or 5 knitting projects on the go, and an adorable husband?

I have dumped the cats onto the bed in a bid to make room for the laptop, but otherwise, YES! (He's the live-in lover rather than husband, but I've kept him for 15 years, so legally, no diff ;-)

Glad to hear that your power is back, too!
