I couldn't get to mallow because of the floods but 'round here there was a few shops closed. couldn't get any petrol for the generator because the pumps weren't working. had to get a dropeen out of the lawnmower :) lol usually i'm better prepared for this sort of thing but powercuts don't really…

usually i'm better prepared for this sort of thing but powercuts don't really bother me anyway. they're fun unless they go on for so long all the food in the freezer starts to go off but that never happened yet.

No problems in Glounthaune. There was one small flicker around noon but no actual outage.
