Three
times yesterday I sat to write a post and each time I was interrupted
and never got around to doing a post so here I am on Monday morning
at last doing a post. Some of this I wrote yesterday some of it I
have written today.
Do
you get bored, I don't yesterday (Saturday) when I got up all was
good but between the time it took me to get dressed go to the loo an
head out to the kitchen we lost power, Leo was here with me and asked
if the neighbours had power I said I didn't know he said he would go
find out, so he went over and asked Kevin if he had power, he didn't
then he went up the driveway and asked a few other neighbours some
had power some didn't have power. So Kevin checked the fuse/power box
and he could tell that some of the units had power some didn't, so he
went and rang the Dept of Housing who said they would report the loss
of power to Ausgrid and someone would be out to check out what was
going on between the time he rang which was 8am and 4pm.
So
Jessica gets here at 8.30 to get Leo and she said to me what are you
going to do with no power how bored are you going to be, I said I
don't get bored and would be fine and I was I wrote by hand a letter
to an overseas pen pal and then read all the letters I had here from
pen pals about 6 letters then I was able to use the laptop and write
out a letter ready to be printed when the power came back on also d
id a few other things. At 1.35 I thought well now what maybe I will
have a nap while I wait for power to come back on but at 1.45 the
power came back on and all was good, so didn't fet bored at all.
Leo
said when we had no power why did we have to need power to watch TV
and use the internet, I said because we do it is just the way it
is, he said well what I am going to do, I said ride your bike do your
Lego, draw he looks at me and said yeah I will go and do some Lego
but 20 minutes later his mum was here to get him so he was happy to
go home which is rare he usually doesn't want to leave when she gets
here.
I
was speaking to mum about how Leo was and how Jessica thought I would
be bored and she said it is because we grew up in a time that didn't
have electronic devices that entertained us that we are able to find
things to do to keep us busy and entertained when there is no power.
She may be onto something.
Natasha
turned up to have a shower at 1.15 and said could I do a load of
washing for her, I said I would when the power comes back on then she
said bugga, followed by do we have hot water of course we had hot
water so she had a shower then left again.
Speaking
of Natasha we don't see a lot of her lately since she met a new man
Steve who she says is not her boyfriend he is just a friend she has
sex with at times but she is spending all her free time with him,
Natasha is one of those people who when there is a new man in her
life everyone and everything else falls by the way side, including at
times her son although she doesn't see it or think it but that is how
it seems to others which should say something.
Now
I don't care if she wants to spend all her time with this guy if
Blain is at school or at his fathers but when he is home here she
needs to be spending some one on one time with Blain as he gets
jealous if she isn't spending much time with her.
Today
(Monday) I am going to watch my granddaughters while their mum does
something, I asked her if she will drive me to Lake Fair as Tim to
the car to work and I have to go out and do a few things for mum it
is annoying that he took the car as it is fine not wet or cold so he
could have taken his bike I wouldn't care if I didn't need to go out.
Well
that is enough ramblings for this post until next time stay happy and
enjoy life.
best of luck for your visit to fair lake ,wonderful belongings of the day

Got in and did what I had to do and was home in no time
DeleteI am never bored, either. I have letters to write, books to read, crafts to make, and art stuff to play with. I have a big oil lamp, several small oil lamp candles, and a lot of wax candles when it gets dark. After a day I'd be much more concerned about the food going bad and not being able to cook. :)
ReplyDeleteYes me too, so many things to do when we have no power
DeleteWe certainly have gotten dependent on electricity for our entertainment. That's why I like my books to be paper so if I can light a candle I still have something to do.
ReplyDeleteYes we are more so the younger generation
