Darkness!
We've just had a power failure and everything went black. It's fantastic. Streetlights still on, unfortunately, but the houses around this block of apartments seem to be affected. Closest we'll get to a Black Sky event, Rob and Leece.
Am I weird that my first thought was wow, this sky right now would be great for astronomy. [EDIT. Though it is a full moon, so maybe not so much?]
It's to be expected after a 42^C degree day following a 27^C minimum night, I suppose.
I can hear my pet rats moving around, this being their free range time, but I can't see them, so the little horrors are going to go to bed exactly when they want to, I suspect!
Lucky I don't need to see my keyboard to type. I used to freak my boss out by transcribing with my eyes shut.
I just took a look out the front and it's definitely the surrounding block, not just us. A few folks will be getting their exercise, since of course this puts the lift out of operation. And a bunch of people are standing around in the car park, not sure what for. I've got my front door open, with flywire shut to prevent rat excursions,since it's getting a bit uncomfortable without the fan.

Full moon and a bit of cloud, not cooperating but hey.

I occasionally type my 750 words with my eyes shut. Sometimes it speeds me up because I don't get distracted by other things but I do get the occasional typo. The only issue these days is if I am doing it too late at night I might doze off. It does seem to be very localised on you. Outages website says 10 people (though that might be confused by apartments) and estimated 2:30am fix.
