We (as in our neighbours too) have recently been suffering from power cuts almost daily. I contacted the supplier, and they said they could see there had been some, all brief, and it could be anything from trees touching cables to some other things I can't remember, but they would look into it.
All was well for a couple of weeks but has now started again.
Now then, Mrs keeps her insulin in the fridge. She worries it might get too warm, so has asked me to work out how long the cuts are lasting for. If the cut happened as we walked out the door, the fridge got too warm, triggered its pretty light to tell you that, then the power came back and the fridge cooled down again, then the light would go out and we'd never know if all was well, or indeed that night's chicken liver pate was a deathtrap. And why do I always have to write such long sentences that nobody will get through, other than an over-exposure to nineteenth century texts and nothing by any modern author, who would of course write "Power cuts. How long do they last?"? Ah well, γνῶθι σεαυτὸν, as they say.
At the moment, the only way we know there's been a cut during the day is the oven clock flashing. If it says, for example, 2:00 on it, all I know is the power came back two hours ago.
How can I rig up something that will work this one out? It must be completely obvious but I can't get my head round it.
