sorry voor het slecht Nederlandse..... (mijn Engels is een beetje beter)

We are temporarily without an internet due to a heavy storm (orage) on Saturday night, which tripped all out all the electrical supplies to the house. I still do not know if we were hit by lightening or the electrical supply pylon outside got hit. The flash of light lit up the whole area as if it was day, and crack of thunder was the loudest I have ever heard, then there was a little fizz that came just after which was the result of a strike. At the time I did not realise that we had lost al the power and we went back to be oblivious to the problem. I discovered it later when I went to make a cup of tea. Luckily Christian had just installed a new breaker to protect the incoming power to the house and that had tripped, however that was not before the computers, internet modem and the washing machine had all had their fuses blown. So I sat with my tea on Sunday morning replacing fuses in plugs and then trying to get things to work again. Most things are sorted out now but it looks like we have lost our newest monitor which refuses to come back to life, our Orange modem is looking decidedly unhappy and our printer is refusing to print, but we are all OK so that’s the main thing. We have never been hit by lightening before to be honest I don’t think we will ever know if it was the house or the pylon that got hit, but apparently its not that uncommon here, so I will be rushing out to buy some power filters for the computer equipment before we anything else gets hit!
