Power went off as soon as I got homejust after 5pm. Lovely.

Load shedding moved from stage 1 to stage 2 at 17:30. This is likely to continue until 22:00 tonight.

Yup no doubt a unit or couple of units went down unplanned. Usually stage 1 will bring us through peak but they went from stable to stage 1 to stage 2 shortly after that. No doubt something broke.

I have a feeling that the metro is going to screw me over tonight. I'm in Group 7... look at what's happening with Group 6.

 

[Akasha]

They were just 21 min late. Enough to get most of the food done
