We had a power outage at my house this morning and my PC, laptop, TV, DVD, iPad and my new surround sound music system were all shut down.
Then I discovered that my phone battery was flat and to top it off it was raining outside, so I couldn't play golf even if I could have got my car out of the garage through the electric doors.
I went into the kitchen to make coffee and then I remembered that this also needs power, so I had to sit and talk with my wife for a few hours until the power was restored.
She seems like a nice person.
