All up, power was only out for 20 or 30 minutes. Phew! No need to test out my new Portable Power Station.

I’ve been eyeing one of those too. May have to invest in one.

@odd Power cuts aren't uncommon round here, though they're usually quite quickly resolved. Do you get many where you are?

No, they are very uncommon, and usually last a very short period of time, but my “doomsday predictions” tell me I should prepare. We do have a war criminal next door, so better safe than sorry was my theory.

@odd Hmmm, seems to me it's a handy thing for a few hours of power being off. Not so sure about a whole doomsday scenario though…
