Just like the 70s...

We had a few short power cuts last night, and then at 9.30 this morning it all went out. Didn't come back on until 3 this afternoon, meaning that a) I had to the gym to work (in the cafe, may have sneaked in a run) and b) when at home I had to make tea by boiling a pan of water. Can you imagine the depravation? It reminded me of the regular power cuts we used to have in the 70s when we always had a stack of candles under the sink. I thought that was normal then, but today reminded me of how rare they are now.
