If so. I will be awake by the heat. I can't see news reports in the morning. When sitting in class, I'll just sit in a lecture just fan by hand. And in the morning I'll stay at home. The dark will cover around. I'll not see anything except a dark black color. Maybe I have to buy candles to study. Light of the candle is very weak. I can be sighted. My computer can't operate without electricity. I can't discuss with you on mylot. Maybe I'll go to bed early. Will really boring! I have had many days so. No electricity, no television, no light and so on. Sometimes electricity is cut because using overload. I don't like that. What about you?

I think the last time we had a long-term power outage, I just laid in bed and went to sleep. Other times it happened, there really wasn't much else to do.

This time last year we had a power cut and i was boed,aswell as all my children were bored.We are all so use to having electric that when we have a power cut we do find it hard.When we had no power,but it was light out side we found other things to do,like i made cards with the children,my husband done some work out in the garden,my children played in the garden.If the power cut was at night,we went to bed early.

My life would be boring without electricity. No aircon, no internet and no television and no light at night. I hope it won't happen.

Here in my country, we have a tropical climate so we only experience either a sunny or rainy day. If there's no electricity and it's not raining, then it will really be very hot. I won't really be happy with my day if there's no electricity. The boredom and the heat will really make me uneasy. But I will still prefer a day without electricity than a day without water. I still find water more important than electricity.

If I choose water or electricity, I will choose water like you. No electricity, people could live in the past. But not water, no body can live.

I'll just stay in bed for hours.:) And then think,write,read,stare. I love when there's no electricity, I have time for myself more. But when it already get's dark, I would start hating it, because darkness freaks me out, and mosquitoes.:p But I think we need a little of no electricity in our lives for us contemplate.

Powercuts don't happen that often at my place, but I have experienced it sometimes in the past. One time my ex-boyfriend, my former mother-in-law and I were planning on having dinner together and we did some grocery shopping, but when we got home there was no electricity, so we weren't able to cook the food. We couldn't make coffee or tea either, but at least we had water to drink. We lit some candles and sat in the living room. I always have some candles and a flashlight in the house in case we experience a powercut.

If there is no electricity, my husband and I are not going to earn a living. Because to make money, we really need electricity. If there is no electricity, we were starving.
