I dunno - I keep asking why ?

Oh well - I've coped with

1) lost power upstairs last year because of a brand new time switch [ faulty ] while I was away getting my K-x ,
2) a leaking roof
3) the discovery of 7 wasp nests in my attic
4) a massive redecoration project [ horrifyingly expensive but now it's complete very very satisfying ]
and
5) now another lost power session

All these have happened since Raymond died and I've surprised myself with managing to get thing sorted .

Back to clearing the kitchen ready to start on that re-modelling job.

OOOOOOOH congratulations

Fantastic pic

Argh

what a morning

Woke up and got ready for Church - but discovered when I got downstairs I had no power to the kitchen , living room or garage Cancelled the taxi

Had a look at the electricity boxes - one trip switch down - yes the one for the circuit dealing with garage living room and kitchen . Hmmmm put it back up - and it tripped again started unplugging everything to find the guilty object. No joy

Phoned my decorator man to ask him for the name of a sparky . He , nice man that he is said he would come down this morning and see if he could spot the problem , and he'd then move my microwave upstairs to the newly done sitting room so I could get a hot meal [ no problem with the power there ]

Whilst waiting for him - I wondered if the sunlounge was on that power circuit - it was and I discovered that a multiblock which was plugged in was what was causing the tripping Why it's doing it - I don't know , but with that our of the equation I now have power again.

Will get a sparky ASAP .

I'll be happy once the kitchen is done - I'll then be cooking on gas not electricity

Another New Tricks fan here

Still not got my heating on - I'm trying to hold off as long as I can

Think you have something there Gwyn - also the fact that they had to do everything themselves .

I did love Lionel Blair dancing at the end

And Bump

Glad I saw it yesterday

I'm glad you decided not to try and remove the wire fencing on #3 .

With it it is soooooooo indicative of the Gibbon in captivity - he's just looking out at a world he can't inhabit

I wondered what was coming with that topic header and I gave a HUGE grin when I saw the shots

What delight is on her face , she's having an absolute ball to herself
