Electricity

A little crie de coeur this morning from Emma and Neisha, in their pod watching Videos had me researching why our electricity supply had failed.

After testing the 4-gang extension (yes, this year I did bring European converters - do you THINK I'm stupid?) in the loos, I established that the problem lay in the 10m supply with the camping plug attached (yes, I also tested the supply at the outlet, by unplugging our neighbours supply and using that for a second or two). A call to Andrew back home convinced me that I had the power to work it out!

In the absence of any kind of obvious screw to open up the wound up end of the 10m supply, I thought I'd best start with the camping plug end, where I promptly hit paydirt! Turns out that when our new neighbours had pitched their little tent, they'd managed to pull our power supply a little - Lottie'd pushed it back in, but on opening up the plug we found that the brown (live) wire had disconnected completely. It was the work of moments to re-attach the wire in the correct place.

I know it's nothing really, but I'm feeling pretty good about myself!
