This has been another week from He]]. I have been without electricity for four and a half days. Before you ask, ALL my utilities (phone, internet, gas, electric, and water) are all on auto-pay, so that was the furthest thing from my mind.
High winds (registered over 70 mph) snapped the electric cable that brings electricity to my home. As a result, I had no heat, no phone, no internet, etc. Even my new furnace has an electric starter. I finally asked to borrow my neighbor's phone and reported the outage. It still took the electric company over a day for them to string a new line to the house. I wasn't sure I was going to make T Tuesday on time, but I hope to be just under the wire (so to speak).
These mugs don't fall in any single category, so I am calling them random mugs.
Pretty flowers caught my eye here.
...biking with dogs is an interesting one.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness! Your week certainly hasn't been a good one, hopefully things will now improve.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed seeing these mugs.
All the best Jan
The frequency of power failures at your house is very concerning! I hope at least that spring weather will soon make them less horrendous.
ReplyDeleteThose are very nice mugs!
best… mae at maefood.blogspot.com
They have wonderful mugs, don't they? Another power failure? Yes, as Mae said, concerning.
ReplyDeleteMugs are a great collectible. Each one has a story to tell!
ReplyDeleteSo sorry about the power outage!
ReplyDeleteThat wind was brutal here, so I can see how you lost power since yours was a bit stronger than at my house. We had winds at 50-60 mph, and I was worried about the power. I hope it wasn't brutally cold since you had no heat. Glad to read your power is back. And you shared some great mugs too
ReplyDeleteHappy t day, now that you have power and internet again! So sorry to hear of all of these problems you are having. Hoping for a better week for you!
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to learn you have again been out of power again and in that cold, too... hope that was the last one for now and that Spring and warm weather is on the way. Great mugs. I always use my Rexi but Ingo changes mugs all the time. I would not let him in there ;-)
ReplyDeleteTo a warm week... at least inside!
That's a long time without power! Poor you. I'm glad it's all fixed now. We get regular power outages as I live out in the country, but I have a lot of stuff on gas. I have a gas heater (bottled gas) and my cooker and oven are gas (Butane, orange bottles) too.The water heater is gas (I have an electric heater too in the other bathroom) and I even have a gas lamp on Camping Gas.(The small blue bottles). And I have the best power bank I could buy, to charge my phone.
ReplyDeleteBut I wouldn't like to to cope with 4 days without electric. I don't particularly like camping and 4 days without power would be camping in your own house.
Anyway, you have power again. That's the main thing.
More pretty mugs. Just for looking though as I think they are quite expensive (nearly 20 $).
If it's any consolation, the weather is atrocious here too.
Happy T-Day,
Lisca
Oh no! Glad you have heat and electricity. Cute mugs. My favorite is the flower mug with the blue inside and blue handle. Happy T Day
ReplyDeleteOh, I love the mugs with the birds and the flowers. So nice! Happy T Day and thanks for hosting, Eilsabeth!
ReplyDeleteGoodness! I am so glad you finally got power again!
ReplyDeleteCute mugs. I especially like the bird one and the funky flowered ones. I hope things stay calm and uneventful now! :)
Oh my goodness! No wires in to the house, I bet you just went into a dizzy fit! I know I did when next doors fence fell onto the caple taking the internet and electic out to my Johns 'mancave' it was just after he'd passed and the caple was tangled up in Jasmine and Bay tree bushes, I had to get in to cut it free, I definitely had a panically hissy fit!! yours must have been a million times worse! Love the mugs! I really wish that shop was near me!! Have a great week. Happy T day...not too late this week! ((Lyn))
ReplyDeleteWhat a mess dear Elizabeth. In such cases you see how depended one is on electricity. Hope all is in function in the meantime. Sorry for the belated T-day.
ReplyDeleteAll the best

I hate losing power. We have looked into getting a whole house generator but haven't wanted one bad enough to shell out that kind of money (yet). Glad you got it all back and could make your post in time.
ReplyDeleteGreat mugs - they have a super collection at that store.
Take care, Elizabeth. Hugz
Good Grief! I am so sorry to hear about your week and lack of power! I hope you are feeling better, and that life gets better and goes more smoothly. Love the cute mugs for tea. Virtual hugs to you and your kitties.
