I've received two phone calls this afternoon from the housing association that runs my tower block: there was some kind of water leak on the roof and the main electrical box has blown/shut down/died.

Looks like it will be an evening spent in darkness, with the company of candles and my iphone (until it runs out of juice.) Not looking forward to climbing the 10+ floors home.

On the plus side, I've got a gas oven (for my M&S moussaka), hot water (I hope) and a bottle of white wine to keep me company.

Might update later if electricity returns!

I hadn't thought of that... but it's true! It all went wrong, so fast.

Developed and developing clash and sit side-by-side in the UK, especially in London.

This building has a housing commission chic look.

I had no idea you lived there. I work about 200 yards away on Dingley Road!

Oh no, that's not my building! I just found one on Flickr that was nearby and looked the same...
