The whole bottom of Ossy was without electricity this afternoon/evening for six hours. Vandals again broke into the empty Peel Court old folks home and the electricity substation was set on fire.

No Accy Web.

No radio.

No coffees.

No music.

It was quite fun whilst the sun was out and all the neighbours sat outside chatting. The blitz spirit prevailed, and the lady with only an electric cooker was made a brew by yours truly by boiling a pan on the gas.

It's not really a moan as all power is now restored, but I did feel isolated from the outside world without the magic of electicity as even my phone wouldn't work.

I did get to read the Observer twice, including the small ads, but I feel so much happier now the powers back on and I can join in on Accy Web again.

It made me realise how we all do take things for granted until they aren't there.
