Funny, not funny!!
After almost 2 days of having to live my life without internet and email, I am finally back in.
Lightning struck just at the front of our house, and it sounded like it was right next to me where I was sitting upstairs, using my computer. It sounded like a very loud bomb going off right next to me. (How do the people in Gaza feel, experiencing that on a daily basis? I can't imagine how bad that would be.) It broke the Wi-Fi box and caused an issue with the Air-Con but apart from that it was a very brief electricity cut and a very strong heart-attack effect for both of us. Some of our neighbours also had some electrical issues from the strike.
It's lucky I have a resident IT Guy, i.e. Hubby, to fix the tech issues!
