Like most (West) Germans of a certain age, your English is excellent. Wir sprechen nur ein bissien Deutsch (or something like that -- it's been a while).

I thought what follows rather well done, by the way. It gave me a chuckle. The only thing I would say is that you really need a separable verb with a 17 clause sandwich and a beer to make the effect complete!

When next to town you go, see if there are any grounded lamp/Christmas light timers at the whatever-mart. If you can convince your SE to be at the "It is now safe to shut down your Mac," screen when the power cuts out and start back up when the power comes back, you'll be golden.
