there was a click and all the electrics stopped,my husband and son fiddled in the cupboard and muttered a lot so I went outside and found that many of the neighbours were wandering about looking lost.
It was only a power cut but the deathly silence was amazing,and people were talking to each other which was strange. As it got darker we got out candles ,that was nice as I looked much younger by candlelight !
What to talk about though....hhmm.the dogs were delighted to be played with as the light was too low to read by so we played and laughed for most of the evening, chatted to neighbours we had never seen and had a relaxing time, my only worry was for our chameleon who was getting a bit cold....then suddenly all the lights came on and the telly started up and the dogs went to sleep,we stopped chatting and laughing ,the chameleon sunbathed and we watched a programme....and the neighbours went in...back to normal......shame really.
