Catsey by Candle Light


The bloody lights fused this morning
The fuse box is pre 19th centuary, very high up, G has lent out the step ladders and I cannt find any bloody fuse wire.
I havent been able to have a shower today as we dont have a window in the bathroom so have now came home and settled down with a cuppa the pc and several candles
Pat please dont call me at any time soon coz I will probably break a leg by falling over something trying to find the phone

The light from the candles isnt great so it makes for slow typing
Chapel of Garioch is a pretty little place and I'd imagine, colder than the city but it was freezing last night.

Re: Catsey by Candle Light


Is it just your lights Elaine or has your heating gone as well If it's just lights that's an annoyance really . . . if heating and other power; a major problem!!

Yola I think she means the fuse box is run by winding it up................ ......I dont think electrics and Elaine go together.
