9pm, and we have light! And heat! And good things! Squeezing in 3 hours under the 5 days.

There was a crew working at the end of our street when we came back with our spoils from the chippy at 8.30, and we beeped them in a friendly way as we passed. Then as we sat there munching and drinking sake by candlelight and firelight, the Christmas tree lights came on! The guys didn't let me down!

Everything we've tested so far seems to work, apart from the SO's ancient and specially-selected monitor which turns on, then instantly off again. The food in the freezer is dead, of course (including my carefully chosen free range Christmas turkey :-( ) - it survived 3 days with ice, but 5 was asking a bit much. But POOOOWEEEERRRRR!!!!

YAY!!!!!!!!!! What a relief! So glad to hear that you guys will have heat and Internet. Whew! Now D and L need to get their power back.

Yeah, they and the SO's boss are the only people I personally know now stranded. There would be another, but he has a generator, and not in his living room XD

I honestly would have thought they'd have power long before us - we're way further out of a large town.

Haha, we would have thought so too - in fact we were discussing how, if ours came on today, we'd invite you guys over to use it. XD XD XD

If you're still powerless tonight, you're welcome to come and eat and watch Torchwood with us and stay over in the warmth of our spare room :-) Sadly, we can't extend the invitation to Calvin.
