It's a rotten conspiracy

For the past hour we have been in a very strong electrical storm cell.
Tonight is my best TV night and these cells always seem to come then. Not one functioning Tele channel.
My OH is about to get thumped, his solution is for me to either bake him some cakes or do something else which does not need tv.
He has no chance on either score.
Just having a whinge.

the storms here took out the power as well as prime and some other channels.

I'm just charging up my lappy and ebook, then I'll go to bed and read. They say the power may not be restored until tomorrow when they can get the choppers out to check the lines

Are you in the mid North Coast area of NSW pimpy?

[the*scarlet*pimpernel]

Inland from there Jean. I think the power is out from Tamworth across to Narrabri and beyond

My laptop has a dead battery, has to be connected to the power.. nuisance in thunderstorms.

Yes, but it seems to be a regular event! So there might be something to catch up on...

my laptop too. iPad's not bad for iView 🙂

Yes, the thunderstorms have been regular lately. 15yo boy killed by lightning on the beach and a woman struck by lightning today, treated for shock & minor burns. Planes and trains delayed.

Savage wind and electrical storms on the Central Coast.  Have similar problems with poor reception......with my favourite night of TV.  

Alternate activities are off the radar too.

Doesn't anybody play board games or cards anymore?

They're looking at each others cards, Stawka!

I have about 30 - a lot brand new in factory packaging- high end, jig-saw puzzles if anyone's interested.  Do many peeps do these any more?  At least they don't need a power source.
