RAIN,FLOODS,HIGH WINDS,FALLEN TREES=NO ELECTRICITY

Over the last few days Winter has arrived with a vengeance.On Friday the rain was unbelievable,with flooding all around me but miraculously i had no problems except blocked drains above,which resulted in me getting soaked trying to unblock them.Then Saturday morning i was looking at the Races on my computer when i heard a crash,then the electricity went out with a bang,then my neighbour came running around to tell me one of my trees had fallen in the road and snapped off the electric wires to the pub.I called the Fire Brigade who were there within minutes,EDF took a bit longer,about five hours longer to be exact.We had a tree blocking the road which was surrounded by live electricity,yet some dopes argued about getting through it all,maybe we should not have argued with them,just let them fry,but we stopped them frying themselves,not neccessarily for the good of Mankind.When the EDF did arrive they were truly amazing and within two hours they had everything up and running smoothly.
That night Ireland played France in the World Cup play off and disappoiningly lost one nil,though to be honest we probably deserved a draw.The game in Paris will now be very very difficult.Lots of people came in last night,for drinks, probably saw the tree down and it brought back memories of 87 when the whole neighbourhood had no electricity but i did,have no idea why that was.So ended another trauma filled day in the life of the Witch,and people ask me will i miss it???? Why of course i will!
