❗I can't see many posts at the moment. I'm only seeing 'No Preview Available' for both my own posts and many of yours. My apologies if I miss or don't like your images. 🥺 Others seem to be having the same issue, so if it feels unusually quiet, it's not you, it's us!❗

My dumbass was about to share a screenshot to tell you I'm having this issue too. But then I remembered you wouldn't be able to see it either. 😂✨

I remember many moons ago, when I was at uni in Magdeburg, we had a massive power cut that took out the whole district. And I thought "Damn, the electric kettle doesn't work, I guess I'll have to boil water on the stove in the dark!" 🤡

I'm going to take a leap and say the stove wasn't gas? 😂

Yep! 😂 (Sorry, gas stoves are very rare here, it didn't even occur to me that there are more options 🙈)

Are they? They're very common here and in Ireland! (Actually, my Dad made sure we had one growing up because he said at least if there's no electricity, we can eat!) ✨

My very first flat in 2004 had a gas stove, but it also still had storage heating. I think they gutted and refurbished the whole block after we moved out as it was terribly outdated. I remember the stove heated up very quickly, but it took ages to get it going in the first place. My flatmate had a knack for it, but I never mastered it. 😅 I also remember the smell and the residue it left all over the kitchen.
Everyone I know has a glass-ceramic stove, and more and more people are switching to induction hobs (including yours truly). But I see your point! To be honest, I'd never really thought about it before. 😅 Power outages are so rare these days ... And with more people installing solar panels (there's been a real boom in balcony solar power systems over the past few years), the idea of losing electricity has pretty much slipped everyone's mind. 🤔

Maybe it's us that are living in the past? 😂 To be fair, here in Bologna we've had maybe four pretty short outages since I've been here. Growing up as a child on the west coast - there were sooooooooo many! ✨
