Hopefully today will be better than yesterday. Had a power cut. Friends down the road also lost power. Called power co, they logged with lines co. As it got darker I then noticed neighbours had power, took a tour around - yes we were the only ones out. Called back power co to find out where lines co was. They were dispatched 20 minutes ago, still took another hour to show up (still night so no mass storm damage to hold things up). Lines co finally arrived, discovered that our point of entry had burnt out and needed replacement by electrician. This is 8.30pm. House is dark, no heating. Looked for a sparky (found one through our local FB group and then tracked him down to find a number). He came and replaced, then had to call back power co to tell lines co to come back out to reconnect. Back on at midnight.

Awaiting invoice....
