As we were coming home from school we heard that a transformer had blown in the neighbourhood. No prizes for guessing who had no electricity! Thankfully a storm was blowing in and the temperature had dropped slightly, so we were able to sit outside with a nice Cuppa.
Mags then came to say that somebody's tin roof had blown off in the wind and had struck a transformer. It was stuck to the transformer. Lots of people gathered to look at the scene as the electricity company 'hit men' arrived to remove the portion of roof. They then went on their way with no repairs.
Later Mags Southern and I went to buy expensive torches ready for when it became dark. We arrived back in our homes to find all electricity restored........ at least for the time being.......... It is good to have air again.
The 'storm' turned out to be a dribble of rain and now seems to have passed us by. It is about 20c cooler at the moment outside but the houses have yet to cool down inside. We are hoping that the cooler temperatures will last a few days.
