So anyway, just as I started typing this the power went out. The power is still out but luckily the laptop carries on. However unfortunately Mr Wireless Router likes electricity so hopefully the power will be back on by the time I finish this!
This evening on the way home from work I was breathalysed (does the rest of the world call it that? Having breath tested for alcohol!). This was exciting as I've never had that done before.
(brief break while yay goes off to find the blackout survival kit that the mother was assembling after last week's power deficit... then a further break while yay ponders the fact that her first response to the power going out was to start writing her wiblog rather than looking for a torch or candles.... hmmm)
Ok so yes, that was all very exciting and I passed with flying colours and drove off into the countryside. For another kilometre or so. When I came across another random breathtest set up and was pulled over again. Surprisingly enough I passed again!! I did mention that it was the second time in my life that I'd been breath tested and the first time was only a minute ago but they failed to see the humour in the situation and made me count to 10. Hmmm the first time I only had to count to 5. And the second time they also asked to see my licence and inspected my car to make sure I had my P plates on it (the things which say that I'm on my provisional licence - ie. I've only had my licence for a year). Note to self, do not make conversation with RBT police if you don't have your licence with you or your P plates on...
There were no further dramas on the way home.
Luckily I made my hot chocolate and microwave popcorn before the power went out. Now I am just hanging around hoping that it comes on before my fingers freeze and I have to go to bed because I'd really like to save this wiblog before bed. And finish the msn conversation I was having. Hmph!
Hurrah! Just as I was about to go and have a shower in the dark it came back on!
