One of these days...

...you should better stay in bed!

We had a blackout this morning. The second one in a month, which kinda worries me, because normally the system is dead reliable. Maybe it has something to do with the strong winter. I'm not sure how they isolate the cables in the ground, but they are not running that deep under the surface so the ground around them is probably frozen.

I can't tell when it happened, because my alarm clock didn't wake me!! I remember being awake shortly around 4:30 am, but no alarm at 6 am. I woke up shortly after 8:30 am from the alarm of my freezer. Seems the temperature was too high. Luckily a couple minutes later the electricity was back. Nevertheless I couldn't attend a training test I had this morning at 9 am at college. Good thing it's optional, so no problems for me, except an angry best friend who had to do it now on her own.The district she lives in had electricity this morning.

Anyway, I can be happy that I didn't have to be at work in time like lots of my neighbors. It was very funny to watch them all running downstairs and racing each other to the train or their car shortly after the electricity was back. I hope they won't get any problems with their boss.

Let's see what the rest of the day brings...lol
