Hey! Who turned out the lights?



Our longest power outage while living in England. Ten hours total so not that bad. The fun thing was watching poor Enya's reaction. Frantically flipping the light switches in a vain attempt to get some power. Our friend Chris came over and we played board games to pass the time. I feel sorry for Noor, the store across the street, as they have a small butchers shop in the back and they are stocked up for Ramadan. The power outage was a boon for the Rusty Bicycle! The place was packed with people drinking spirits and Ale. Ale, unlike lager, does not need to be chilled to retain flavour. Every table had a small candle on it.

Speaking of butchers, our local butcher shop is now closed. Stewart's was more than just a butcher shop he was part of this community. Due to personal reasons he has had to close the shop. We are going to miss him.

Bronwyn is taking Drama at Pegasus Theatre once a week, Gareth is as well. Fiona is taking traditional Indian Dance. Enya is upset as she is still too young.

I have injured myself again at the gym. I pinched a nerve cluster in my lower back causing my upper left leg to go numb. The doctors say it will be another three to four weeks before I get feeling back in. I'm also getting my knees X-Rayed on Monday as they keep hurting. I will probably go through some physical therapy to strengthen the tendons. Thanks Mom for the genetic flaw.

I hope to have some exciting news for everyone really soon.
