Well I was nicely settled in front of the
TV with my laptop in place ready to start blogging and a glass of the red stuff
within reach. So definitely sounding
like a Wendysday apart from a few aggravations at work – don’t you just love it
when you end up clearing up after someone else’s mistake!
But……suddenly the TV just died, as did the
cable box. So did my son’s TV and when I
investigated further none of the electric sockets were working. Fortunately the lights were still working and
after investigation I discovered that only some of the sockets seem to be
causing a problem. (Those in the kitchen
and the living room.) Unfortunately I
don’t know what the problem is exactly, just know that if I try to reset that
fuse, the circuit breaker kicks in and takes all the sockets out. So I’ve just had to leave them off for now –
have managed to use an extension lead and plug the fridge into a socket in the
cellar but have no cooker and can’t use the kettle or toaster so making breakfast
in the morning will be a challenge.
I have managed to arrange for an
electrician to come in the morning so hopefully he will be able to track down
and solve the problem. What I need to
check before I go to bed is whether the cats can get back in through the cat
flap – it operates electronically but I’m not sure what happens when there is
no power. I know they can get out, just
not sure if they can get in.
Fun and games but on balance, NOT a
Wendysday!
That sounds horrid!!
ReplyDeleteHow odd! Hope you have it sorted now.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds awful Wendy, I know I don't appreciate things like the electrics until something goes wrong and then realise exactly how important it it. I hope its nothing too serious and the electrician sorts it out quickly.
ReplyDeleteHi Wendy, I hope it all worked out OK. BTW my blogspot is now up and running. Please do pop over when you've got a spare moment. Cheers! Lee
