Unless it is the middle of winter, power outages are usually not much cause for excitement. In fact, power outages of mere seconds are generally not noteworthy. Last night has changed that for me.
Shortly before bedtime, there was the tiniest blip in the power supply; I'm sure it was less than 2 seconds of total darkness before power returned and aside from comforting Mikaela, that should have been that. It wasn't, it would seem the occupants of the apartment above us have some electronic device that has an alarm in the event of a power blip. As the loud whining commenced, I closed all our windows in an attempt to minimize the irritation and wait for the return of our neighbours to turn off the alarm.
It is now eight hours later, I'm exhausted and the alarm carries on. Are our neighbours on vacation? Will we still be listening to this alarm ten days from now when we depart on vacation? It's torture. Please, I beg of you - Make It Stop!

Kari..... Given your track record in NZ, have you or David checked upstairs for the presence of a dead body? ;-)
