I am trying to get this post written before our power goes out. Today is an off day. So was last night, and Wednesday night and all day Friday. We are on what they call a 'load shedding schedule' with our electricity. I also need to get busy and make coffee for Ron. Tanesco, our electric company doesn't always stick to the plan. But it has been amazingly close for the last week. Following a plan is usually not the African way. We have a generator we can get going which is loud, takes gas (at $1 a liter or $4 a gallon) and does not have enough power to run everything. But it helps. Something I never did in the US, plan for when we have electricity. No laundry today, no hot water today, and no Internet in about an hour unless we crank up the generator for a bit.
Lots of people here don't even have electricity, so no problems for them.
Just another thing for me to think about as I start my day.
