A few days before i was thinking how it would be like to live without electricity these days and when i go home i see that the power line to our lane is broken, thanks to the good rain and weak trees. For the last two nights we are out of power and i tell you its not that bad. The rain ensures that you wont suffer the heat and a candle ensures your daily quota of reading.
The most creepy thing is to go out in total darkness to get water out of the well. The mixture of rain and darkness is truly enticing as well as terrifying. I thank the rain gods for all these experiences and for giving us enough water to cover the rest of summer.
