So as bad as a Monday morning gets: there has been no power since 3am last night, so no hot water either. The laptop battery is running low as the USB modem is further draining it quickly. The electric cooker wil not work, so no way to get hot water here either. The microwave cannot also heat water or food, there's no electricity. The gas cooker also is a useless pice of metal hardware now.

 

The area I stay which is close to a commercial area suffers power loss each time it rains and has been like this even before the rains started, my car is low of fuel as no station has since the last two days and there has been a cooking gas shortage for a few months now.

 

I think resorting back to the old days of using charcoal seems the only option for now. Unfortunately, there are very few trees around to build a fire.

 

Is the collapse of the economy showing its initial signs? And there was no need for an economist to say anything, that cup of coffee is the looking glass.

 

Me thots. :-(
