I can't eat or drink anything until I have my scan at 11.30. Right now, I'd kill for a drink of water. I can feel myself dehydrate. It's just awful, but at least it's better than yesterday in that we have electricity.

In case you don't know, the power went out n Melbourne yesterday. We thought it was just our house then found it is was most of the city. It feels so much hotter without electricity, even though we don't have air con. All we could do was lay around with wet face washers on our heads, complaining about the heat.

Eventually we got some energy and filled the bath with water so we could soak our feet. Then we set up the laptop and watched Prison Break but, with 16 minutes of the episode to go, the low battery warning came on. Oh noes!!!! Then, within seconds, the power came back on. Even God and the power company can't deny the boyish charms of Michael Scofield.
