Drinking coffee and reading the morning news when I spot a notice advising of a power cut between 10:00 and 13:00. Current time 9:50. Notice somewhat confusing - apparently correct in the original Turkish, slightly mistranslated into English by the municipality, and finally corrected by Ralph. So yes, today, and yes between ten and one - more or less that is, as is the way with maintenance. The question is precisely where. A scattering of locations mentioned with some east of us and some west, some at higher altitude than us and some on the seafront. So assume fair likelihood that we’re in the target area. But so far so good, although a couple of people in Lapta report they have already lost power.Not exactly a problem, but unwilling to begin a shower if sudden loss of electric pump may result in hair shampooed but not rinsed. Opt to head out to regular Friday gathering at the Blue Song unshowered. Actually, sun hot enough that sweat would have nullified shower effects anyway.
Spot Criegan when we walk in, with others overlooking the sea. The smokers group - though not all are. Usually outside unless it’s broiling or raining. John and Beverley join us shortly. Happy catch up.
Power cut never happens.
Power outage?
