We had a bad storm in Willoughby in November.
No electricity for a week.
It wasn't hardship surviving this.
I was working, out of the house, Stephen worked at his mum's house.
Candles, solar torch over the kitchen bench, dinner at 6pm (in the dark),.
Stephen kindly charged all our devices during the day.
So after dinner we curled up and went to bed early.
We were one son down as he was away on school camp.
Easy peasy.
We were lucky the weather didn't require heating or cooling. We were sweet.
