Peak or non Peak

For those of you in Ontario and using electricity for every lifely function there is a slight glitch. I am home one week and I break the first rule
SHOWER TIME! It is a gloomy dull and chilly day. I decide to have a shower on peak hours. Seemed like a good thing at the time. Unfortunately I forgot about the 5 minute rule. HAHA ON top of that I showered at 7pm. OHOH I am into the high tide of electrical expense. I don't do my laundry or circulate the dishwasher or water softener during peak hours. But I did shower during the black out times. Tsk Tsk. Now one would think that fact that I recycle like no one else, meticulously sort my garbage and have kitchen compost and yard compost why would I break the cardinal rule.

WHAT CAN I SAY IT WAS A MOMENT OF WEAKNESS!!

Now the real question is will there now be a chart in the bathroom when we can or can not turn on the taps? Everything in my house is electricity tied. We live in a rural area with a pump that brings us water- no city water for us!! I can imagine Ben creating an electrical bypass of the pump to the stationary exercise bike . All I want to know is who is going to pedal through his favorite Ms Marples sleuth tv shows?
I figure by next week we will have a windmill outside.............or maybe he will wait till he gets his next hydro bill.....Stay tuned
