I think I already need to have enough conversations with strangers in the bar. I just can't handle more.

I am the opposite, I don't talk that much, besides with my kids and hubbie. By the way, we are having power cut tomorrow from 7 am to 6 pm  |

I agree. Our house would get very cold if we had a power cut as long as that (the gas boiler needs electricity to function).

Ours also depends on electricity to burn oil. I might drive the kids to the nearby town for lunch in the afternoon.

I stayed in the office all night a while back because the electricity company said there would be a power cut between 8pm and 6am for a while. I shut down all the kit and was waiting to start it all back up again, but the power cut never came. I ended up going to sleep on my inflatable bed on the top floor, which is currently unoccupied, for about 4 hours before going down for breakfast (not in my pyjamas).  |

I plan to sleep late tonight and do some work. I am of course charging my laptop and iPad. But no power means no internet (my husband will go to work in the office tomorrow). But if I get to the nearby town I could use the wifi in the restaurant. I need to check my e-mail from time to time to see if there is new job coming up. That's me, working freelance.

I must say I am noticing a huge difference in the temperature of my house since they did all that insulation stuff earlier this year .. it's brilliant. No more sitting watching my breath |

That's good. Yeah, insulation is something we need to see to.

Our heat is natural gas, so as long as it's already on, a power outage only cuts the fan. We still get radiant heat, which isn't great, but better than nothing.

You should erect a wind turbine in your garden at once! There's a nearby company which currently has a 250kW turbine which has been working for several years now. They're currently under construction of a new tower (55m, according to a press release), which will generate 850kW! I saw the turbine blades today on the way into work and they are freaking HUGE!!! |

There is one near me at Green Park that appeared on the sky-line in a matter of a couple of weeks. It generates 2.05MW! I suspect it dwarfs your one.  |

Perhaps, though it's difficult to judge the size from the picture. Or, there aren't any tall buildings that close to the ones near me for comparison sake.

Working in a bar means a lot of people tell me stuff as well which I'd rather no know.
