It was so quiet. I didn’t realize what it was until I was about to make my morning coffee – no power!

So I started an investigation. First I checked the status of the laptop battery, to calculate how long the power had been gone. I left it running yesterday. The battery was almost empty.

Then I took a walk with Gizmo around the block. I couldn’t hear any electric machines anywhere. So my conclusion was that at least the neighbourhood was without power.

Then I had breakfast. While I was eating my favourite yogurt (bianco) the power came back.

I immediately checked the news and I found out that about the whole island had been without power for several hours, due to an explosion at Marsa power station earlier this morning.

Shortly after lunch the water disappeared. Why am I not surprised?
