Hola! Well you guys just had blackouts over in America. Well we’re copying 😛 Or more specifically my town is. This morning the power went. It was weird, my computer went off, I thought it was just playing up lol. Then all the alarms in the town started going off. I had to go to work then.
A restaurant with no power doesn’t work very well :sure: I enjoyed it really, it was like an adventure, especially in this pitch black kitchen! Anyway, it made the day more interesting.

We didn’t have a power cut down here, but Churchill did experience 3 hours of network failure so I couldn’t work (or connect to the Net or do anything) all Friday afternoon. That count? 🙂
