I'm Back, did you miss me?

[Granpa]

I'm back, lost power at 1:30 yesterday afternoon, lights flashed about 5:30 last night, when the rest of town got power back, then nothing, rang faults, pre-recorded message said Fairlie was expected to get power back around 4:30, Kakahu about 5:00, and Geraldine about 5:30 last night, hit the '1' to talk to someone, and was told to ring back this morning.
Rang back this morning, and was told we might not get power till tomorrow night at earliest.
Was talking to the sparky, a guy I have known for too many years(45 ) He is the local Netcon guy, he said he thought we had power last night, didnt think to check the big transformer next door to me, had blown 3 fuses, when he replaced them, they blew again
he found the problem, fixed it , and now we back
I told him I'd shout for him, next time I saw him in pub
So, Ill shout for him here too, those guys do a great job, in the foulest of weather
