Chris writes - well we have lived to fight another day! It has been a long and tiring week but we have survived it. Last night our power (and sanity) was restored! All week there have been rumours and speculation - finally it happened! We saw the workmen at the sub-station in the village as we were leaving a family we were visiting and asked them - to our delight they said "Po" (Yes)! They left the village and nothing happened. Then about an hour or so later we heard some shouts from over the road - somebody had flicked the switch at the power station and the village was 'on' again! It is so good to be able to put things in the fridge again and not in the cool box or the bucket of cold water. We have got used to the odd hour or two...or even five hours on a bad day...but a whole week.....!! You suddenly realise just what you take for granted when you don't have it...we just have so much to be thankful for! Today we saw workmen measuring up our road with a view to laying down tarmac - wow this is just too much!! Thanks for reading and Zoti Bekoft x
