For ideas on how to spend your morning without electricity, we have a few we think you might like.
- Exercise. This morning will be perfect for that jog you’ve been postponing. Better yet, how about a park run in your area?
- Read a book
- Get on with those chores. Catching up on some housework will be much easier without the Internet
- Spend time with family. How about a few rounds of board games?
- If you’re not up to any of the above, go ahead and take that nap.
