Power outage

For the last few days, we've been dealing with a power outage. The power went out around Noon on Saturday, and didn't come back on again until 1:30 - 2:00 on Monday. That's over 49 hours without power.
We managed ok though. We are pretty self sufficient, because we have the gas BBQ that we can cook on, and boil a kettle of water for tea and coffee. Our freezer is old and we were not able to save much of the stuff that was stored there. After 49 hours, things got very squishy. But, we continually put ice in the fridge to keep it cold and we managed to save most of the stuff in the fridge. And, my brother had power, so we went over there to charge all our electronics. And steal more ice.
