Lights Out
I spent most of Monday night in the dark. The weather has taken a turn to wintertime and part of the B-plant went down. The power was off for around four hours and on for two. My generator ran out of petrol after three and half hours and I discovered that I didn't have much left so I had to trudge down to the petrol station at 9:30pm to refill. Then just as I was finished filling the generator and gave it one unsuccessful pull, bam! The power came back on. I know I said some unkind things about the power company...they probably heard and that's why the power went off an hour later :) The officials from the power company (KEK) said that the power schedule would be four on: two off but Monday is was just off-off-off :-P Now the problem seems to resolved or Kosovo is importing power but with the weather quickly reaching freezing points at night, I'm sure that the power cuts will become a regular thing.
