I was having trouble getting any work done this morning as my PC kept resetting when the power cut out at our offices. I decided to take an early lunch and head over to Cranleigh to draw out the deposit I needed to put down on my new house.

The drive there was a treacherous one, many tree’s had been felled by the wind and some of the roads were partially flooded. Thankfully I was able to brave these conditions in my trusty Corolla. On my way from Dunsfold to Cranleigh I encountered four cars which had been in accidents and broken down. There were almost a few more accidents as I travelled out as some idiots were attempting ridiculous manoeuvres to get past various emergency vehicles, thankfully I have the reflexes of a cat so was able to avoid these buffoons.

When I got to the bank all their systems had been crashed by the power outages. The staff at the bank informed me that I couldn’t take out any money until they could check my balance, the only way to do this without their computers was to ring another branch and their phones were out as well. Eventually the manager at the bank decided that he would make an exception an allow me to have the money without checking my balance.

On my way back the police had blocked the original road I had come down so I had to take a detour to get back to the office. I’ve just been informed now that there’s a large tree blocking the A281 hopefully this will have been moved before when I head home this afternoon.
