ESB fault

Just called the ESB hotline and found out that the power isn't only out in our area, but that there's a "major fault in the area of . . . Bray".

There's some comfort in knowing I'm not alone, but the fact that half an hour after the power went out that ESB has no estimated time of restoration is disappointing.

Still, if it weren't for the power fault, I wouldn't be enjoying the song-birds of the modern world - house alarms. So many going off at the same time that it's like a chorus of birds on a spring morning. NOT!
