Saw in the New Year at friend's house. Turned out other friend couldn't come, so it was just us two plus some random neighbours of various ages. Chess was played, nibbles eaten, beer drunk. I hadn't realised how badly the phone networks get jammed at midnight on New Year!!
Woke up this morning and did the usual thing of kind of tumbling brainlessly into the shower. Idly wondered why there was no water pressure and assumed parents/brother had managed to break the pump. But hey, I'd been in worse showers than this, and it was hot, so I managed.
Got back into bedroom and discovered that light didn't turn on.
Realised electricity was out. ( And so that was really rather fun. )
Oh, and then it rained and the rain was coming in kind of like a horizontal river. Luckily the guinea pigs were due for a clean out anyway, and all their (now soaking wet) newspaper got changed. It occurred to me that keeping 2 guinea pigs is a lot less time-consuming than keeping 6. It used to take me 30-45 minutes to clean all 6 of them out...
And I noticed that my new generation of fruitflies have now hatched, and the little wriggly larvae are living their happy, carefree, wriggly little lives in the coffee jar they call home. And so I gave them a new grape, and things are all looking good there.
