Everything flickered on and off for a few seconds, then darkness engulfed the entire neighbourhood.
Luckily my chicken wings roasting in the oven were done just in time, so we were able to sit down and have a romantic dinner by candlelight (and torchlight) :P
The blackout lasted a good 40 minutes!
Eddie and I wanted to check out the neighbouring suburbs after dinner to see if they were affected as well, but as soon as we got into the car and reversed out of the porch, the lights came back on.
Oh wells, t'was fun while it lasted.
