Our electricity was off this weekend & I could not use my computer, so could not use e-mail nor play any games as usual. I could not use the internet or charge my cell phone, so was completely cut off from the world.
My remote would not turn on the TV to watch sports, movies or series programs. To add insult to injury, the play station was also dormant.
The weather was inclement with torrential rain and gale-force wind, so I could not play golf, go fishing, or as a last resort, even work in the garden.
So, in desperation, to prevent withdrawal symptoms, I chatted with my wife for quite a few hours.
She seems quite a decent sort, actually !!
