Power

Well, just electricity, this time. But so powerful was the power cut which shut down my computer without a moment's warning, that I actually stood up, walked downstairs and made soup for lunch.
No ignition spark, so I used matches; no overhead hob light; no toaster, so I made croutons in a frying pan; no liquidiser, so we ate the soup chunky.
The cut lasted no more than 90 minutes, but was inconvenient, and a salutary reminder of how much I rely on the juice to flow.
Hell, I almost got out my pen and notebook...
