One minute my entire neighbourhood was hopping with someone's mega speakers in their front yard playing Bob Marley's greatest hits at top volume, and the next minute you could actually hear the collective "Awwww!" of the entire neighbourhood as we were all blanketed in profound darkness.
I, unfortunately, still had to do my French homework... (I'm taking a French class at Alliance Francaise in the mornings) so I busted out this candle and the Hannah Montana notebook I recently bought from a hawker on the street.
As I finished my homework by candlelight I briefly recalled that one story from Little House on the Prarie where Mary starts a fire in the barn while studying by candlelight late at night...
A couple hours later when the power came back on and the speakers restarted their ode to Bob, the cheers of children and adults alike all across Labadi were heard far and wide. It was priceless
