Well that sucks. Several houses in Belgrave including mine have been without power since 18:30. Would have been good to have aircon this evening.

On the positive side I'm feeling virtuous for having recently run up the generators, checked the oil, topped up the petrol, etc. So we have a fridge / freezer and, if we still have no power tomorrow, will still be able to work.
