Oi, leatherface! Wanna rum'n'Dunkley's?
Ten things to love about hurricanes:
- Days of practice to become a Scrabble/Risk/Monopoly/chess ninja
- Finally getting to read that pile of old technology paper portable devices on the bedside table
- Meeting neighbours you didn’t know existed
- Naked solar showers in the garden
- Sharpening your machete skills
- Legitimate excuse to run around wielding a chainsaw with a leather mask on
- Really innovative BBQs – yes, you really can do lasagne on a grill …
- Bizarre cocktails. Nothing like black rum to liven up that milk and OJ in the warm fridge before it goes off
- Dinner by candlelight
- Sex by candlelight
And 10 things to hate …
- The embarrassment of losing to your kids at Scrabble/Risk/Monopoly/chess yet again
- Power outages. By the third day, the novelty’s definitely over.
- Meeting neighbours you didn’t know they existed
- Neighbours filming you taking naked solar showers in the garden
- Piles of rotting vegetation. Phew!
- Tripping over while wielding a machete
- Falling over with a chainsaw after one too many rum’n’curdled milks
- Running out of candles and wondering just what the hell you’re eating for dinner
- Regretting buying that electric scooter
- Sex by candlelight (unless, of course, you’ve got the aforementioned solar shower)
