FOOTNOTES: After a two hour wait with a string of corpses behind us, we had reached the moment of truth. Poirot had gathered the suspects in the elegant drawing room, had given a detailed account of his findings to date and then swung around, finger pointing and moustache bristling, his mouth open to utter the name of the culprit, and the TV screen went blank. At the same moment all the lights went out and the computer screen sighed and also gave up the ghost, leaving Chaplin and myself sitting in Stygian gloom. It has truly been remarked that nothing is missed until you actually lose it, and the total loss of power brought home to me that I was totally unprepared for this. A glance through the window showed that the nearest street lamps were also out, meaning that we were suffering a rare power failure. I began to carefully make my way to the kitchen. In situations like this, sharing ones life with a black cat is not the cleverest move as I found out when I tentatively put out a hand to support myself and felt something warm, large and furry, that yowled and jumped to the floor. I knew in the kitchen I had some small tea candles, bought years ago by a lover, who had the idea of lighting and spreading them around the lounge to give a romantic ambience. They nearly brought me to the edge of a nervous breakdown, constantly worrying about the cottage burning to the ground. Having found the candles, it dawned on me I didn’t have anything to light them with. Ah, the gas stove I thought. Then I realised our gas oven relies on a device plugged into the power to be lit. Scrabbling around I found our sole torch and having lit that, also found a box of matches left over from last summers barbecue. Then, with several candles lit and whilst I was explaining to Chaplin that stretching out and lying near to the candles was not the wisest thing to do, all the lights came on again. The Poirot I had been watching was now over and I still could not remember the murderer, but no matter. Life had been returned to its normality and all was well. Have a good week and go safely where ever your journeys take you.
