They are finished and gone. We now have a lovely house where if you switch on the kitchen lights, the shower flows hot, and if you switch them off again, the garage door closes. We're going to have fun..!! You’re safe to come back now. They are finished and gone.

The gas stove! I have to write a post about that, because it is special. I think it should be in the Guinness Book of Records! Actually, they are back. They were refused permission to switch Poolbeg off, so they are working on live wires again. I have the hospitals on standby and am brewing tea to my heart's content. Ah! The gas stove!
