Yay for power!

First storm of the autumn yesterday, so inevitably our power conked out. At least we conked out at 6.30pm not 2.30pm as other people did. They closed the road down the hill, so that meant tree down or power line down or both. A bummer for the poor sods who had to go to work in the rain all night. Less of a bummer for us, giving us an excuse to go to a nice Japanese for the evening, where I had a fabulous Thai rub chicken (yes, I know, I went to a Japanese and ate something labelled Thai, but the chef had it marked as one of his specials, so blame him for the culture clash, not me).

And then we read for a while by firelight and candlelight, and the power came back on this morning soon enough to save the food in the freezer, so all is good.
