Black out

As I type this.. I’m sitting in the dark. The only light is coming from the back-light of the laptop I’m currently using.

The lights cut out twice today while I was studying – only for a few moments – then came back on again followed by a lengthy alarm. The lights have cut out again and have yet to come back on. As I was trying to work at my desk, I used this as an excuse to get ready for bed using the torch on my phone.

This “blackout” reminds me of the holiday my family and I took to Nigeria last February where blackouts are the norm and back up generators are a must.. and where they weren’t present you simply just waited until the lights came back on.

So as I sit here in the dark, lit up by the light from my laptop; I’m thankful that I know the lights will come back on in time and also very thankful that there are no mosquito’s to nibble on me while I wait.

Bed time perhaps? I think so.
