Its one of the many costs that come
with living in a remote place at the end of a power line that isn't fit for purpose. Its not weatherproof!
For the fourth day running there was an
electrical storm around daybreak and the power went off. I am typing
this by lamplight. This is only one solution, other ways of dealing
with power cuts include a diesel engined generator with a push button
starter connected to your incoming power supply. This is the luxury
option and keeps everything running.
My own intermediate / low technology
solution includes wood fuel heating, oil lamps and hand milking. Not
being able to read The Guardian on line
is my biggest frustration. It must be much worse for anyone addicted
to social media and E bay.
The low technology solution; a heavy
sweater, long underwear and candles or go to bed until the lights come.
