had a lovely hot dinner last night dropped off by my brother whose son is a fireman, apparently silver fern farms had donated a lot of meat
and they had a lot of meals to disrtribute so we could give some to our neighbours too.
I know we are not really affected but a hot meal after almost a week was nice, I had been conserving the gas in my little cooker as no one knew how long we had to make things last, i would boil up a pot of water for the thermos each day and throw a couple of eggs in there to cook at the same time and with what is in the garden and fridge I ate well on salads and still get a few coffees each day
Wasn't very amused to turn on the computer once power was on and get a reminder that my phone bill was due - i know it is just an automatic reminder and usually it is appreciated.
I sent off a snarky reply that if a) i had had cellphone coverage during the week and B) had had power i can assure them that the bill would have been paid. i'm fully aware that it wont be readout oh it how it helped lower the blood pressure!
that's great KM that you will get that bit of lawn done - will they also manage to mow over the pesky aggies at the same time?
I'm pleased that my sister is coming home today as with all the break-ins I'll be pleased that their place will be occupied again. Obviously they haven't turned on the street lighting with the limited power supply so making it the ideal situation for some non-humans.
keep smiling - life's too short for frowns
