power flapping again
Power’s back on, after being off for about nine hours. That’s the third not-entirely-trivial outage we’ve had in the last couple of weeks. And thunderstorms are on their way this afternoon; maybe we’ll have Outage #4.
I’ve been thinking about this for a while, but now I’m thinking more strongly about getting a little woodstove to put in the fireplace, or possibly an insert.
Buying a hand-cranked coffee mill has turned out to be a surprisingly good idea. No electricity? No problem. No coffee? Problem.

Got the insert last year. TOTALLY worth it. Mine has a 9-inch wide lip on the top where I could put a medium saucepan and a teapot. We stayed home through most of the outage (daycare was out, too, so no escape to work), which for us was over 100 hours.
