RE: The bittersweet stuff of life

All those planned power outages, how do they work? Surely they don't cut all power to an area for the duration? Healthcare centres, schools and offices, electrical railroads, chemical factories or grocery stores where keeping things cold are important, phone networks and plumbing and all the other background things...? And what about your fridge and freezer? We've been told that in case of a power outage, things will stay good in the fridge for up to two days, and in the freezer for 8 to 10 hours if we don't open the doors and if it's longer than that we should try to save the food by cooking it. On a wood fire, I suppose! And we live in a very much colder place, so I doubt those times work for you...

Dear @fionasfavourites, you just got hugged.
I sent 1.0 HUG on behalf of @treefrognada.

They have been refurbishing a substation so it's unavoidable. How long they last must obviously depend on the work. I do know about not opening fridges and freezers, but my market chiller is outside and in the afternoon, the sun beats down on one side. Yesterday was 30°C...

Anyhow, everything seems ok. Thank you for your concern!

Oh, and we live in a small village. No industry. And, I cook with gas!👍🤗
