Day 14!

I am actually posting this on day 15. We have been without power for 18 hours now. A power generator underground caught fire yesterday and most of SE London is affected. It is back on for an hour or two and then will go back off. I guess they are trying to give people power in shifts. Once it goes out again, we aren't sure how long it will be off again. They are saying it could be another 36 hours.

Yesterday, we were going to go to the zoo, and then decided against it. (so gareth, we will want to go on the 7th. just wanted to let you know:0) ) We then thought to go on the train to a palace park in London, and decided to stay local. Thank the Lord we did. By 1:00, the power was gone and people had a very hard time getting home from London the rest of the day! We hung out, played outside, made a fort, made a band with pots and pans, and last night, we played cards by candle light. It has been an experience to say the least:0) I pray that not all of the food in the fridge goes bad.

We are heading out to my sister-n-laws tomorrow. I hope that the power is back on by then, but it has proven to us that we can survive without it. The worst part was not being able to call Gareth and let him know what was going on.
