Powercuts

Every day now without fail we have them.. that means.. we have no :

traffic lights, lifts, etc
it affects hospitals, airports
everyday things we take for granted.. the internet, tv, street lights
cooking facilities, a/c, the fridge...and all the other things that are tricky in the dark..

at first it was a bit of excitement, if it happened in a restaurant we'd all be oohing and aahing when it went off and on, now it is every single day and its having a crippling effect on the country's economy. Small business have to close as diesel fuel for the already expensive generator costs 4 times more than eplectricity.. it causes major traffic chaos and makes life harder for everyone..

yesterday we had power at my friend sarah's house, she had no power in the evening, this afternoon we had no power, it calme back on at 6pm. it is crippling small businesses and driving everyone a little bit crazy..the country needs serious support for with its hydro elctricity programme..

I never thought I'd say this, please can we have some rain..?
