Let There Be Light!

So today, I woke up at around 2pm (which is normalish for me) and walked out of my bedroom into the hallway. A brightly lit hallway... which, for us, is not normal.

You see, a few months back, we had all of our windows and exterior doors replaced. The new ones are brilliant, by virtue of there are no black lines running down them, offering an unobstructed view of our surroundings. In the case of our back windows, this means looking out onto a small patch of woodland and our garden. However, during the installation, the builder people accidentally cut a wire which shouldn't have been there and we lost our kitchen and upstairs lights.

Fortunately, we have unit lights in our kitchen, which means that there was still some light in there. We can still cook after dark. However, that still meant that our upstair lights were gone. Since the only ones upstairs are me and Simon, we relied on our bedside lights. However, the bathroom was without, so we put a torch in there. 

So today, when I woke up and looked around in my brightly lit hallway, I looked up and saw... the light was on. Naturally, I made the same reference as my title when I saw it, before checking the other upstair lights. Yes, my bedroom, Simon's bedroom and mostly importantly the Bathroom were all restored to brilliant brightly lit rooms within seconds! 

As it turned out, the wire only cut off the kitchen lights, and what Dad, Simon, myself and, ironically, THREE electricans failed to notice was that we had a blown fuse. 

So now we have lights on upstairs again. This, naturally, makes me happy, since it means I no longer have to rely on a torch when I brush my teeth, wash my face or use the toliet. It also means night time baths (my favourite kind - especially in this weather) are back on the menu! 

So how are all of you?

Live Long and Prosper

UPDATE: It's snowing again.
