normally during loadshedding when the power gets restored, the transformers at the substation receive a higher load of power that they are used to and sometimes they just pop or explode

Morning all,
This cold weather is messing with my sinuses so I am gettin weird looks from the sniffling, sneezing and coughing
At least we have a bit of sun today so I am airing out the office a bit - the stuffiness isnt helping

Went for my first walk of the day, out the gate, into the forest. Everything is covered in frost. We are below 0!

I’m kinda jealous! Although my pepper plants are happy we didn’t get frost.
It is pretty close to freezing here in the mornings though. I got asked, “Aren’t you cold in shorts?” today
