This morning we were plunged into the dark ages when our power went off for a whole 4 hours. Courtesy of our local electricity supplier we travelled back into the past to a time when we had no computers, no TV, no heating, and because our water comes from a well via an electric pump, no water.
It was a time when poor people were forced to flush their toilets with buckets of water from their swimming pool – yes, two weeks ago, when torrential rain also left us without leccy!
Anyway, as our well water is so full of calcium that it can't be used for anything other than watering the plants, we decided to go to the big water filling station in San Rafael to buy some water to make tea and coffee.
The plan was to have a picture of a smiling Jaki, filling carafes with clean fresh water, but when we got there we discovered it was closed and with no sign of opening in the near future.
We're just going to have to drink wine with our spag bol tonight!
Talking of time travel, i had a few predictions about the future pop into my head this morning. I reckon that Spain will win the Euros 2012 by a large margin against Italy, Elton John will play a concert in San Antonio (and so will Lenny Kravitz, but probably to a different crowd) and SHM will split up!
