#Composition

One day without electricity

I was informed yesterday that the whole village would be without electricity from 6:00 in the morning to 9:30 at night. Because of this notice, I especially charged the computer, my smartphone and power bank fully to ensure the basic usage. It also meant that I can't link to the WLAN, either.

Till now, I am lighting a wax candle to write down this diary and later to turn on the phone's Personal Hotspot to connect my computer wirelessly. ?Thus I can send the diary successfully. By the way, the workers from electricity plant are working at repairing something. Thank them very much. But it's really inconvenient to live without electricity and WIFI. ?
