We has a scheduled power outage today from 8:30 until 3:00. That's right, the braniacs at the power company thought that shutting off the power all day on a Sunday would be a good idea for us families in a residential street. Retards.
Anyway, no power meant no lights, hot water or heating, which also meant a good excuse for an early start and breakfast at the shops.
Except of course, its Sunday and nowhere opened until 10am. Thanks again Power retards.
But I did manage a trip to the tip where they have a new e waste program. Dropping of TV's, computers, monitors, etc no longer costs a fortune, but is free.
I was amazed at the number of things already there, cling wrapped and ready for whatever they now do with them. Burn them or something equally as eco friendly I guess...
Then lunch at the park, where Grace and I had fun on the swings. Well,I had fun, and Grace watched in awe of her dad. Or disappointment. Or shame. Or embarrassment. I'm not sure which.
Finally we dropped in to see Cass and Nathan and Maddie, mainly so I could laugh, mock and stir Nathan for his building skills as he worked on a zoo for Maddies toys. Except it looks good, and he WAS using the correct tools. I think I even saw a tape measure! So no mocking, laughing or stirring.
When we finally made it back home, the power was back on, heater running, and everything as normal. So SCREW YOU POWER RETARDS....we had a great day out, and you didn't bother us one bit.
