I've replaced the lightbulb in the bathroom, which unaccountably stopped working while I was in London. It's not an easy one to replace as the fitting is right on the ceiling, not dangling on a lead of any kind, and the ceilings here are about ten feet up.

The stepladder was still in the corner of the living room beyond my desk, so I had to wrangle it out of there without smashing things to bits and get it into the bathroom. Then I couldn't put it up properly, so I had to move some stuff from behind the bathroom door into the hall, so I could open the door enough to extend the ladder's legs.

Then, when I went to remove the bulb, it flickered into life for the briefest moment as I turned it. I tried putting it back in again in case it had just somehow worked loose, but it didn't happen again. The new bulb worked fine, so maybe it was just a final twitch of some kind, as when one applies the galvanic current to a dead frog's leg. I'll try it in a different socket some time, just in case it works and I should be looking at the socket to see why it stopped working in there.

Still, I can now use the bathroom with better illumination than that given by a torch dangling from the shower curtain rail, so that's something

If it's a CFL, then they do that sometimes.

The one on the landing in the ZeitParent's house went intermittently on the blink & would strike if you firkled with it a bit.

Until it wouldn't any more.

And testing it in a bedside lamp proved it to be an ex-CFL.
