Yesterday, when I turned on one of the upstairs lights it started to flicker and I thought that the bulb had gone, so I switched the light off. When I turned it back on nothing happened and I was about to get another bulb when I realised that all the upstairs lights had gone out…

The downstairs ones and all the sockets still work but the upstairs ceiling lights either don’t come on at all or flicker madly when switched on. The electrician can’t come until Monday so for now the upstairs is illuminated with desk lamps!

After that minor irritation it was a nice surprise to have an impromptu invitation to visit friends for board games and maybe a glass of wine or two.
