Tonight Deb and I enjoy a romantic dinner by candlelight :-)
Why? Because the electric power has failed.
We're ready for this. We've lived in WA for years. We bring out the candles and torches. Boil water on the gas stove (which needs to be lit with a match). We read books and play games on our battery-powered tablet computers. Books and games that do not need the internet, that is.
We get a text from Telstra saying that there is an internet fault. Not a worry... with no power our modem is blank, no access to the internet even if there were an internet.
Thirteen hours later, the electric doorbell rings and lights come on... we have power. Deb turns on the dishwasher. I set my mobile phone to recharge. Still 7% charge. Enough for one quick call if we had needed it.
Another quiet night at home :-)
Tomorrow we reset all the electrical devices which include a time display. The pendulum clock just keeps on ticking :-)

Its a pain when the power goes off.
