black out

OR NOT...

I am spending some time with my grandparents, while I get well and my meds start leveling. A much safer option then a psyche ward in my opinion. Being here in this little town with a whole lot of love from them , I feel better already (or maybe i feel normal even when I'm slightly off the wall) Theres just something about the air here...

So we started dinner 15 minutes early, which is 7:45pm as opposed to 8:00pm sharp. The reason for this is because the lights needed to be sgut off at 8:30 GMT time world wide. Some sort of stand against global warming or something to that effect. Well, at 8:20 we began to scramble around lighting candles and collecting torches. One would think we were collecting and rashining our dessert for some major black out.

There was a lot of excitement round the preparation for lights out. At 8:28 we all stood at different switches and out with the lights we went. Smiling like a kid going to the fair for the first time, the three of us hurried outside, anticipating that the village would be in darkness. To our disappointment it was not, and we could still see all the lights from across the bay. (the municipality had forgotten the very thing they had advertised) for this our house in the dark but our garden illuminated by the street lights.
Pathetic attempt from this city.

But not all was lost, for the rush of our own blackout, the preparation of mood altering light, we ate out dessert and watched a movie by candle light. This moment for me was worth our romantically lit black out.
