Tuesday morning here. Quite a mourning morning indeed. We have a long power interruption scheduled. It will start at 7:00 in the morning and will end 6:00 in the afternoon. Definitely, my online activities will be hindered. I am thinking of what to do during this interruption. What do you often do when there's a long power interruption scheduled in your area?

That is the perks of living in the metropolis we don’t or rarely we do experience long periods of power interruptions. I hope the cellular signal won’t be interrupted.

When there's power interruption, I do offline activities at home; gardening, cleaning, walking or visiting relatives.

We don't get that long power interruptions. It is generally of 2_3 hours. I prefer to do those chores that don't need power. I am happy doing some reading or artwork.

You are lucky there to not have much power interruption. Reading is not a bad choice.

It is just okay to have something like this as long as they have an advanced schedule announcement.

Aww, that's a long power interruption. When there's a power interruption, I just watch some movies downloaded on my mobile phone. Sometimes, I go out and have some decaf tea in a coffee shop to pass time.

Watching movies on phone is quite a nice idea but sadly my battery is so easy to drain nowadays.

Glad you have a life saver there. We can't afford to buy one.
