It's funny how storms can touch all aspects of one's life.

The other day, while returning home with a bad head cold, I got stuck on a ferry. This ferry journey is usually an hour and a half but this particular day, we were stuck on for an additional 20 minutes because a power outage stopped all of the car & passenger ramps. This meant that, although we could get to the dock, there was no way for all of the passengers to get off.

Now, one would think that a ferry terminal would use the emergency generators but apparently, they usually shut them down. I have no idea why this is and I believe that a lot of the staff on the ferry didn't know either. Sounds kind of silly, non?

Needless to say, we all got off the ferry where at least I was free to laze around on the sofa for the next two days nursing this stupid cold.

Starting tomorrow, I will be healthy.
