Wohoo, no load shedding for me this weekend. Was getting ready for the worst this morning, and then the power actually stated on. Seem like there is no Load shedding planned for me this weekend.

Power cuts in Durban from 8am to 10am today.

Luckily my generator automatically kicked in and i didn't even notice until I heard the whine of the diesel engine.

My neighbours all came over and used my stove and microwave and kettle and the fat bald guy from next door (Could it be Picard... I wonder cos he is a sport teacher as well) helped himself to my beer and complimented my whiskey collection!

I am by nature very generous so I invited him for drinks and dinner as well later today. He can teach me Afrikaans and he gets free alcohol as per the deal!
