Utilities

Utilities are a problem over here. Power cuts are becoming more regular and for longer periods of time, and as summer starts these are bound to increase. All I can rely on having is 1 light bulb in some of the rooms - no other power, so no air conditioning, fridge power points, tv etc.

Last week it took 4 attempts 3 hours to do 1 load of washing. The first 2 attempts the power went off, the 3rd attempt the water was cut, the 4th successful attempt was because my guard went down the road to get me a bucket of water (once the power came back on) to finish the wash. So hand washing is the best way to do the laundry, but I hate this for sheets and towels!
