Blowing out the electricity

The weather has not been good for me in France nor for Lisbeth in England. In fact, Lisbeth has been without electricity for nearly 30 hours as a result of gales and high winds. She says that although cooking and hot water have been problematic, filling the house with candles does make for a nice atmosphere in the evening. I wonder how many households have been thrown by what to do without a TV? Maybe some families have rediscovered the art of conversation or the pleasure of playing games with the children.
