Thursday night we got home from the college to find the electricity out at our house. It seems a transformer near us had blown during the fairly big rain and thunderstorm that struck Cayman from Wednesday afternoon through Friday morning. The power surge to our house knocked out the electricity and in the process fried our DVD player, our toaster, our microwave and our cable box. Fortunately, the computers and I-home were not affected nor was the television though without a cable box we are sans any stations. We bought a new DVD player last night at Cost U Less and will look for a cheap microwave and toaster in the next couple of days. The microwave that blew out wasn't ours, it belongs to the homeowner so that one will be her concern. We are just getting a small miniature one that can get us through since most of what we do is oven related anyway. We did get some good news yesterday as the repairs on our car and the two new front tires came in substantially less in cost than expected. Of course those savings are now going into the DVD player, microwave and toaster. They are also helping to pay the cost of the two adapters we had to buy when our cats chewed through both of our adapters in less than 24 hours. Next weekend is Constitution Day here in Cayman so Monday the 6th is a national holiday. In celebration, we are going on a vacation to Grand Cayman. Everything we do will be as if we were taking a vacation to the Island. Renting a house, going to all the tourist things etc.
