Today was a day at home.

Note that I did not write a day away from work…as today was a web day where I was to write and tweak and enhance Moon Haven’s webpages.

Everything started well… webpage updates and uploads fully underway when …blink…splutter…flash and my computer, as well as the rest of our relectronic world …came to a spluttering halt!

So after a few anxious minutes to see if things would miraculously return to normal I called Western Power for an update. It looked like it was to be at least a 2 hour wait. This on my day of electronic wizzardry… a few precious stolen hours in the privacy of my state of the art, gadget driven, electricity dependent home office .

I was far from pleased, but being the adaptable little soul that I am I went and watered my pot plants, cleaned away the breakfast dishes, read snail mail and generally made myself busy.

After an hour I was lost. Everything I could do without electricity I had done. It was cold and wet and decidedly winterish here and so with fading light I wasn’t even able to read or start on my sewing projects.

So what could I do but sit in my rocking chair with Sarina Valentina Katerina – the bossier of our two Russian Blues on my lap and just …was…

I don’t often get the chance to just BE…but this imposed BEING was a delight to me. So peaceful and comforting… I was able to just exist…just me and my cat with the Scotty dog at my feet.

Of course just as I was settling in… the power came on.

There goes Murphy and his law again!
