Candlelight...
Last night we had our second power cut- two nights in a row now!
How people managed before electricity, I have no idea... I can only hope that oil lamps were a great deal more powerful than candles. We lit dozens, and it still wasn't bright enough. And yes, I know how romantic candles can be- but try doing a final polish on a ms by candlelight!
Fortunately, I work on a lap-top attached to a giant screen, so my work wasn't lost. I have had good cause to thank the battery that kicks in instantly on my lap-top more times than I can count. I recommend this method of working to everyone to whom even the shortest time lapse loss of work leads to energetic head-banging against the wall.
Love to all, and wishing you no power cuts wherever you are!
