24 December and the range hood decides to crap itself. A number of electricians have shut down until the New Year. Who would have thunk it?

I found which power circuit it's on and turned that off. Fortunately, stove top and oven work but lost the microwave and TV which are no big deal. Moved the microwave to a power point which works on the bench top. Thank heaven's the power point for the kettle also works so I can make a coffee otherwise it would have been kill, kill and kill again.

All back online yesterday. Installers arrived at the appointed time, completed the work by 11 am and after a clean up, which was thorough, left by 11:30 am. A long wait but the outcome was worth it.

Nothing like a good news story to keep the heart and home happy.

The old man did his time in the RAF working on the Catalina flying boats, they moved to Singapore in 1951 during the Malaya crisis, mum said the flights took three days and the seats were canvas deck chairs.
She wasn't impressed.

I heard none had survived but perhaps in the RAF?
