I missed yesterdays posts because with a 40+ degree day being bad enough insult was added to injury when the mains power went out at 2 in the afternoon. According to the website it was going to be fixed by 16:00, then 18:00, then 20:00. Apparently it was an "underground cable fault" which, when we phoned the hotline at 20:05, was going to be rectified by 20:00 21st January (next Monday). A quick snotty phone call to the human at the help desk found that this was a mistake on the part of the engineer who updated the automatic message... It would now be 22:00 last night.
It finally came back at just short of 01:00 this morning. By that point (it was still 30 degrees outside) the house alarm which had been beeping every 30 seconds to remind me it was on battery had decided that it was getting close to the end of the battery life and was squealing in a continuous high pitched whine.
This morning it was heading into another 40+ degree overcast (so hot and humid) day. Still with the cllud cover I could still drive the car with some comfort, yesterday it had been sunny all day so the temp inside the car was 70+ degrees ( I know this because the little LCD thermometer on the dash goes completely black), the steering wheel was too hot to grasp with the palm of the hand and my sunglasses left scorch marks on my ears and nose....
But apart from that do you like living in Brecon?
