Power cuts

Everyday we get an average of 8 hours without electricity. The cuts come in chunks of 4 hours and they change the pattern every Wednesday. We like it when the power cuts happen while we are at school (happens quite a bit) or in the middle of the night (rarely happens).

The power cuts were getting really disruptive - imagine having to study by candle light wearing 5 layers and gloves! So The Husband bought us a generator. Its noisy and expensive to run, but at least we have lights and the fridge works + one other appliance (micro or washing machine or hand blender or small heater). So no excuse to not cook or study!
