We've had a little relief from the recent heat, but the forecast is for another heat spell to build in over the weekend. Luckily, we tend to have nice cool mornings. We throw open all of the windows so that cool air can move through the house and push the warm air out. Nature's AC.
Tuesday night, after the storm, we had a few power outages. I woke up at one point to complete silence and dark. No humming of the fridge, no spinning of fan blades, no tiny indicator lights here and there. No power at all, just dark silence. Then suddenly it all came on, startling me. We have a number of lamps around the house that are on timers. All but two are digital. The digital timers have battery back-up so most power outages don't change their clocks or their settings. Nice. However, there are still two analog timers that need to be reset after a power interruption. When I forget to reprogram them, lights go on and off at very odd times. Bother.
Resetting the 'old timer' timers is a pain even when we have to move to BST and back here in the UK. Lesley
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful view.
ReplyDeleteLet the lights go on and off when they want to. I remember one long power outage in an ice storm, and how wonderful it was to hear the printers booting up in the middle of night after a couple of days without power.
ReplyDeleteThat is a weird feeling when everything is black. Glad it didn't last too long.
