    Hi All

    Last week the power went off as a local electric sub station decided to bite the dust just after dinner & was off for several hours :doh:

    Just by chance i did have a spare lamp or two in the workshop for such an emergency & i duly bought a few in to make life a little easier :D :thumbup:

    My Wife was glad of the light from an Evening Star table lamp to see by as she has just got back into doing some knitting on these long wintery evenings :D :thumbup:

    With the flash :!:

    The lamp was so bright the camera dimmed the image right down 8) :thumbup:

    I needed to see what i was doing in the kitchen to get my packup ready for the next day so my AGM desk lamp was put to good use there while a little Coleman 201 was used to light my path when checking on my elderly neighbours to make sure they were ok :D :thumbup:

    In the kitchen :D :thumbup:

    The AGM making life much easier in the sandwich making department 8) :thumbup:
