just typical

today is house cleaning day. Deb wants to do a major clean before we go away.

my job is to do the washing, the laundry.

normally I'd lie in bed till Deb turfs me out to get to the sheets. today I'm keen. i get up, grab the sheets, go downstairs to start the washing.

The washing machine fails to work.

our power has failed. one phase is gone. we have lights but not much else. certainly no washing machine.

just enough power to boil a kettle for tea, luckily. though slowly.

i make tea.

there's a text. power may be back on by noon.

several hours to wait. i may as well read a bit, and write.

Next, i plan to go back to sleep.

still...

last night i spent some time checking some of the limitations of the Apple tablet.

one function that seems to work is, i type a post as an email, press send... it should send the email when Next i have internet.

well, with no power, there is now no internet.

i type this post. i will press send. some time after noon... with power and internet working... this post should post.

so it's a good test of what i need when traveling (with only occasional internet)

so, a good pre holiday test. whoopee!

could be worse. at least i have a hot cup of tea. and that's something too be glad about :-)

PS later: the send-later works :-)
