When was the last time you had an unplanned power outage at home?
I can't remember the last time I was without power for more than an hour or two, but so far today it's been 12/13 hours. No light and no sockets - my broccoli is going to be thawed out 😕.
Annoyingly, (yes I'm electricity jealous) I can see a TV through the window of an apartment across the way. The main fuse box is half-fried and so, in typical Spanish style, some of the apartments have power, and some don't.
I had planned to do a utopian-io post today, present a little data and make a few SP, but I need the laptop for that, and wifi would help - using phone data destroys this old phones battery, which currently stands at 19%. I also missed the weekly meeting at Utopian, but did let the boss know why I might not be there.
It shouldn't piss me off that much, and I should be welcoming the break from the screen. I am a little, but without light also, there's little entertainment choice for this Friday evening on the island.
When I first started out on Steem, I was 100% mobile. Then I started writing a bit at work (don't hate!), and then I finally caved in and bought a laptop. I'd sort of hoped that I'd never own a computer again - strange words I guess from an IT 'professional'.
The previous desktop was left in the UK, given away for free. The sound system and one of the monitors I gave to a guy who found my phone (this phone!) in a bar, and contacted me (using the medical ID feature and Facebook) to let me know it was in his possession - the gifts were for driving 10 miles to return it.
For 18 months now though, 90%+ of my activity on Steem is via the laptop. It's just so much quicker to type, switch windows, sort images, etc. So yeah, anything from the phone takes time, and today's engagement has been brief.
There are some decent posts around though as always, and 
I've also seen a few posts talking about the increase in dolphin-sized accounts. This is really good sounding news and having checked a few wallets over the past few days, a number of people I interact with fairly regularly have crossed 5k or are close. This could mean bigger upvotes for me when the prices turn around! 😛
It think they will, I just have no idea as to when. Anyway, i need some power first! Pretty happy it's a gas hob here, eggs on gas-toasted bread it is.
Enjoy your well-lit Friday evening, hopefully things will be back to normal tomorrow.
Cheers!
