I will be resurrecting old posts until electricity has been restored in my house. The power company promised that 95% of households will be online by Friday. In 2004, our tiny street did not receive full service until 13 days after the storm. Right now I am looking for a hot shower!!
I published this post about the Peerless Pool two years ago. Perhaps my new readers might be interested in learning a few facts about a public swimming pool in London over 200 years ago. Click here to read the post.

Hi Vic. You are back!!! I’d offer to share my shower with you, but it might be taken the wrong way!!!!!!
Have you been posting from your local Starbucks again?
Hi, Vic! Thanks for sharing this-I was not following your blog at the time it first came out and really enjoyed it. I had heard of the Peerless Pool, and am glad to learn more about it!
I do hope your power comes back soon! That first hot shower after an outage is such a blessing…
Dear Vic,
You have my sympathy about the lack of electricity and all that it provides. It is amazing that our lives are so dependent on something that was unheard of during our Jane Austen’s day! Our electricity was off for 5 days during the recent tornado in April in Alabama. I went into blog-withdrawal before it was restored! Thank you for thinking of us. Just think of it as a camping trip-ugh.
Best wishes on the restoration of your power. Thanks for giving us a past post. I was not yet a subscriber of your blog so it was new to me. I enjoyed it.
Poor Vic!
J’espère que tu pourras prendre une douche chaude rapidement!
Nous pensons tous à toi!
Courage!
Bises
Deeply sorry for you! I hope the electricity will come back soon. A hot shower is ine of the delights of modern times, being an Austen fan doesn’t mean you need to live with the same amenities as our favorite author. Good luck!
How about a dozen candles to replace the electric light. It might inspire you :)
