On tues the cable that connects the house to the city of cape town's grid, broke (how we are not sure since the cable is under ground in a patch of the garden that only has grass on it). This happened whilst I was still passed out (was hectically sick mon/tues). I woke up at 4ish with no power, we checked the neighbours and realised its just us. Phoned the elec company, at 7:30 they arrive to test - yea we have no power - they go away to check something at the street box and 2 hours later they tell us they need to fix the cable in the yard. But since it is in our yard they are not allowed to work on it at night. So no power for us. We arranged for someone else to come fix it yesterday - they where done by 1 and then it took the elec company untill 5 to turn it back on. Fun times
