Lights out!

Reason #26: bad weather can cause a power outage

On a Bura day like today or during a storm you can suddenly be left without power.

I knew this and still I didn’t prepare, so earlier this evening I was scrambling to find a flashlight or a candle. If you live on Brač, you should always be prepared for this. Know where your candles are at all times! And matches.

Pros of a sudden power outage:

• you can’t watch TV
• you have to snuggle up next to someone
• candles

Cons of a sudden power outage:

• your heater is out (in the winter)
• your AC is out (in the summer)
• stepping on your glasses, or the cat, or the baby in the dark
• candle light can be very unflattering. Ladies, stand at a safe distance if you’re trying to impress someone.

PS I’m still stuck on mainland thanks to Bura. See previous post.
