Technology 1 - the Boltons 1

Ok, I am actually quite happy. After a month without any internet I am now online again. And this has been celebrated with a day of way too much surfing. Things would be a lot better though if it wasn't for technology's resistance against us. I thought we finally had conquered nature: the number of moths and spiders have finally gone down (my mum claims it because it is getting colder, but I would assume that would bring even more of them inside) and we haven't seen any bugs for a week. However, last week we lost all light... Yes, all ceiling light died on us late on Thursday. Since we went away for the weekend, that wasn't really anything we had time to deal with. I came back at lunch time yesterday, but the electrical fuses are of an ancient kind, unknown to me. Apparently, you have do to some serious surgery and change some wiring inside of the fuse... Well, enough said. That means it is now Tuesday night, Tim has finally had the time to look at the fuses, and well, discovered he can't work out which one it is! So here we are: we can work all the rest of the electrical stuff - so the two floor lamps we have in the living room are fine - but have no light. I.e. all rooms but living room are completely dark. In theory it is quite cosy to sit on the loo in candle light, but in practice... no! To be honest, it freaks me out a bit to go around with a flash light in my own home (esp. with known spider problems). I am really close to give in to technology!
