caddymanWell, we've survived 20 years of Seamus O'Timing Device and his boys, and a month of the new wave of unpleasantness,but a faulty circuit has now done what the bombers could not accomplish.
It seems that there was a power surge in Eland House sometime early this morning, which caused a short out in the basement transformer room, and then a fire. So, no power in the building, and no work. Maybe none tomorrow, either, depending upon the damage. I'll know later on, when I phone the information line.
The irony is that I got into Victoria a little earlier than usual, because I have a lot of stuff stacking up to be done. Instead though, four of us decamped to the Costa Coffee in Victoria Station, supped a latté and came home.
Unexpected free time! Hurrah! If only I'd known before I set out this morning... still, mustn't grumble.
