Earlier in the year I was suggesting a couple of fallbacks that are handy to have in place. One was massive ice cubes and second was battery back up and a WiFi hotspot.

Should have known it! A bit of a power surge earlier this evening has tripped my led undercabinet lights(actually i think they blew, i heard a crackle). Fast forward an hour and CLICK its all off. Fortunately I have my back up power packs and just loaded 15gb onto the hotspot. Beers still cold although icebox is packed out with steaks.... no massive cubes. Ah well, needs must n all that!

Ooh, they tried to kick it in there. 1/8th of a second then I think the REALLY big breaker bailed. Must be that f**ker down the road with his SH's. I told them!.... :D (Sorry, wrong continent).

Power has kicked back in a few times, led pendants pulsing then all going off again. So far it cost me my underlights, fingers crossed they get the boss back from holiday soon!
