The power went out at 1 pm today and finally came back on around 6:30 tonight. You should've seen the boys panic to begin with .."Oh No we have NO power!!", "What do we do now?", "I'm bored".
There was plenty to do if they only thought about it. There were games to play, work to be done like tidying up, reading a book, crafts and other things if they only put their minds to it. I at least got to do some more knitting.
We managed to have dinner by candle light (it's a good thing I always have a supply of candles and matches handy). It was rather nice to eat that way. Good thing we have gas though so we didn't have to have a 'cold' tea.
They said in the news that the cold front was the strongest we've had in about 6 years. The people in the alpine region were to expect more strong winds with speeds up to 150 km/hour. That's like cyclone strength! I don't even want to think how fast that truly is. All I know is that it's much faster than my car can travel!!!
