Hmph. It caught us half way through making dinner, and given that the last power cut lasted the best part of 12 hours, we decided abandonning that plan and heading for the chippy was in order. Naturally, it was back on by the time we got back. (And the firewall did not want to come back up cleanly. Must seriously consider UPS.) Mind you, it's a bit odd if it was the same outage as you had, given that as far as we could see only the top half of our road was out.
