I started to do some gardening, became far too hot and so jumped in the pool. We then discovered that the electricity had gone off and discussing that we hadn’t had a power cut in a long time. We checked the fuse box, all OK.
After a few hours and panic was starting a little, a lot in the freezer, hot weather etc etc, It was the hottest day this week…38 in the shade! We then phoned David and Kenny…they had electricity!!! Mal went down to the main fuse box which is on the road, quite distant from the front drive. He also checked Lena and Willy’s meter and they had electricity too! He took out the main fuse and we went to the electrical place down the road to see if they could test it. No they couldn’t and if we needed a new one we would have to go to Kibtek.
Someone is looking after us….there was a nice English gentleman in there who had electrical equipment in his car, he checked it. It was fine. He said he had somewhere to go but would call up later to see if he could help us out. He is a retired electrician. Back home Mal cleaned all the fuse up, put it back in the main box, wiggled the others around a bit and we had electricity back on!! I think the nice kind gentleman must have had a magic touch because Mal had already gone through all this procedure before. Mal text him to thank him very much but now it was all working. It reinforces what we already know, there are many kind people around. I hope in his moment of need, someone will help him out too.
Panic over and we sat under the terrace watching two kestrels circling around our house.
Mal started trying to put this on the newspaper this morning just before we lost electricity but now it is on. Ken Dunn’s interview on BBC Radio Somerset . Well done Ken! (We published his books!)
