It was almost 1am & the other houses were in darkness, so I wasnāt sure if it was just here. I looked on the National Grid website & there didnāt appear to be a problem.
Armed wiv me Big Torch I got me fuses & wire ready & checked the fuses, but couldnāt see why it was tripping.
It was all very fiddly trying to manipulate the torch & root around in the cupboard under the stairs.
Hey Ho.
I left it all switched orff for 20 minutes, went back after a fag break & switched it on & orff 3 times, & eventually it held.
Thank God fer the Fork Andles.
I traced the problem to the table lamp near the sofa.
The low energy bulb had finally given up the ghost, so I replaced it with an LED bulb found in the kitchen which I had bought a month ago, & hadnāt put away.
I made meself cheese in toasted Pitta at 2amā¦
All is well, but I was abit discombobulated 'til I worked out what to do.
Anyhoo, I didnāt need it this time, but the emergency 24hour 'phone number for the National Grid is 105 from any mobile or landline.
I need Moar Coffeeā¦

At risk of turning into BoringDan, I strongly advise getting a head torch for these eventualities. Having both hands free makes life a lot easier.

Excellent advice which weāll act upon - once weāre back from Galloway. Away, tomorrow, back Friday.

I have a headtorch, but it is upstairs in the āofficeā. I will move it whilst I think about it.
The big torch is ok, but the light is never quite where one wants it.
I have had an tuna sandwich followed by an bowlful of the apple/celery/onion salad.
Take care, Soo, & rest assured that thereāll be plenty of Ginā¦

Our NDNs are lovely people. Iām sure that their visiting Grandchildren are also lovely, but Iām grinding the beely teeth due to the piping nature of one of their voicesā¦Caro Emerald is being deployed (loudly) to drown out the noise. Intolerant bee! Weāve more or less completed the legal form-filling. A decent G&t is to be deployed.

My sympathy & empathy, Gus. I wrestled with mine over 5 days sitting on the floor cos mine is a freestanding oven.
The small oven doesnāt have a light, but the main one wonāt switch the gas on without it.
What are you cooking?
Soo, at least it appears to be relatively swift.

How they all laughed at Bastards HQ when they came up with that one.
Nothing in the oven today, there being quiche aplenty.

Thus a good time to change the bulb. It just needed rather more work than weād hoped.
