Today's blog posting is NEPA powered.
Not a common occurrence but it seems that NEPA are showing some respect for our weekend.
The washing machine is rumbling, the DVD player is doing soulful music, the ironing board is humming and the cats are chasing chickens (that's not quite true- our useless cats are scared of chickens).
NEPA has been pretty useless over the last month but so far (apart from exploding inverters) its been a pretty good week. However our idea of a "good week" has been adjusted - to a point where 3 or 4 hours light from 1am is considered 'a good week'. Indeed.
Over the last month 113 units of electricity - not so bad when compared to the 148 units over 5 months that provoked us to start this blog but its still pretty abysmal.
Everyone seems to be making predictions and bets on the world cup - anyone care to bet if we'll be seeing the game on NEPA powered tv ??
Anyway its weekend so enough of NEPA.
If you want to see something pretty check this out
Have a great weekend !!

Yes its our NEPA meter - how much power will it get ?
Welcome to Our Live Blog of power supply in this Niger delta
Sitting in our little 2 bedroom flat, listening to the thrum of the generator, Mr and Mrs Okada decided to give a live account of power improvements (and declines) in our neighbourhood.
We have been inspired by the sight of 3 successive Presidents promising us more electricity. This time we intend to help by providing live data from the field. We'll innovate, gyrate, and create. Soon we hope (with your assistance) will be a luck-o meter where we can measure how much things have really improved.
Its a survey of one, but we hope you'll share your stories, that NEPA will bring light and that laughter will at least abound.
If you really like the look of this little diary you may want to try reading from the bottom to the top.
(we still haven't figured out how to get blogger to keep our first entries at the top of the page and let you read through from the beginning ).
