Living without electricity.

If we have to live without electricity for a week it will be not so good.
We are in the habit of (мы привыкли) living in a comfortable conditions and it would not be easy to dispense with (обходиться без) different labour-saving devices (бытовые приборы).
If the blackout happens, the lights will turn off over the all house. All significant devices like a refrigerator, washing machine and TV-set will not work. Like Saveliy Kramorov in “Gentlemen of Fortune” movie said: “That's that! The movie will not be go on! The electricity have finished ”. (Все! Кина не будет! Электричество кончилось!) 
Also we will not able to prepare meals or boil a tea if we have an electric cooker. Our computer will not work also. And we will not able to charge our mobile phone. Also it is not comfortable to take a shower by candlelight.
All the above mentioned were the disadvantages of blackout. But we can have the advantages also. There are a lot of ugly news which we can listen on the radio or watch on TV. And by this way we will be able to hide from them and live quietly at least a week.
