Showers are killers in Leb. in the mountains we had to boil the water on the propane stove and then add cold water from the taps to even it out and use a bucket to pour the water on ourselves... ugh. I too hated the pc being shut off abruptly before i had a chance to save the work.

You can't just decide to have a shower, unless your willing to shower in freezing cold water in the middle of winter. <BR/><BR/>Being in the village is a little easier because if you are in the middle of making lunch or dinner and the power goes, you can just switch to using the soobya (fireplace): but that's only if its winter. <BR/><BR/>So you always have to prepare in advance and work out when there is no power. But sometimes, the power is gone at odd times when you don't expect it to, right in the middle of vacuuming or drying your hair or using the pc or whatever. Its frustrating.<BR/><BR/>I suppose if you live in leb it is something you can get used to, but because I spend 2 or 3 months there every year or so, it is hard. But it does help me appreciate the constant electricity here in oz.Houdahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13757266744262533990noreply@blogger.com
