Power cuts!

I couldn't post yesterday because just before 13:00 we suffered a power cut that lasted until just after 12:00 today. This was the result of suspected vandalism. We're currently receiving power in 3-hour blocks, so the power went off again at 15:00 today, came back at 18:00 and will presumably go off again at 21:00.

Unfortunately, I had my weekly grocery delivery yesterday about an hour and a half before the power went down, so I'm not hopeful that my freezerful of food will remain edible. Apparently there will be a mechanism for claiming compensation from the electricity distribution company.
