Thank you Fortis!

I was talking to Lloyd on the telephone this afternoon - he was telling me that he was on his way home from work.....Laurie was sat beside me when all of a sudden there was a big BANG outside.....we both jumped!!!

The phone line went dead...the computer went off...all power to the house went off. The girls came running downstairs. We ran outside to see what had happened. We thought maybe lightning had hit nearby and knocked the power out.....

I called Lloyd on my cell and he said not to worry and he'd be home soon to check things out. He got home and checked the breaker out in the field and that was fine but still no power. He called Fortis and they sent someone straight out. The guy was here for two hours and went up in his little crane in the field up our electricity pole..... and then out to the road in his little crane up the poles..

Lloyd cooked dinner on the bbq and made a cup of tea on the bbq and we had a lovely quiet relaxing evening pottering about and snuggling with Grayson, while the Fortis guy did his job and then PING the power went back on and we have LIGHT and we have POWER again :)

And now I'm off to bed :)
