What a night, not what we were expecting!

 We were just about to settle down to read in our new bed, when there was some thunder.. Dh went to look if he could see some lightening when my bedside lamp went off as well as the one in the hall.

There was a loud crack and Dh came back, as the rain started. It was like a waterfall outside our bedroom window..the clock radio was flashing, the house phone was off. The circuits had obviously tripped, so Dh was getting a rain coat to go out to the boiler room, which is between the bungalow and the garage where the main circuit board is.

Me saying,  be careful its electricity, Dh gave me the 'look'!! It was his training while in the Navy.. so he knew what he was doing! The rain was horrendous and there was a river whooshing down our drive way into the garage. The rain, thunder and lightening continued as I peered through the kitchen window, then the lamps flicked on and off several times, scary! But then they came on and Dh came in through the front door. He'd sorted it, a extension cable from one of the freezers had fallen onto the floor and with the water had 'tripped' the circuits, whew!

Dh was wet and went into the second bedroom to towel his hair and then went to comb it looking in the mirror, and then there was a huge flash of lightening and with the curtains open in there, the whole room lit up! He had quite a fright and shouted out,  he came back laughing!

The rain calmed down and it was quiet, but what a night! I think we'll remember our first night in our new bed with the new bedding for quite while.
