Black Out

Following the day of warm weather we had an afternoon of high winds, hail and more snow! And then the lights go out - a black out! No power, but at least the heating is gas fired.

Unfortunately for me it was the day of the Canadian football final (American grid iron) with the BC Lions in the final. I was all set to experience the Canadian equivalent of an NPC final but no TV. Even neighbours who had power couldn't watch it as the cable transmission station was out also.

Luckily our cooker is gas so we had a romantic meal by candle light then story reading time. We all slept in the same room so the girls could go to sleep reassured. Power resumed at 2am. Others had to wait days!
