    But unlike the unfused Tesco & Maplin<spit> 100W bulbs, it didn't explode into a 1000 pieces of nice thin glass leaving the metal bit stuck in the lampholder.
    Changed the lampholder and the shade to suit a curly CFL.

    Funny how all these bulbs are now at least £3.50 each, rather than the 50p they started out at.

    Lampholder had got very hot, hot enough to melt the solder on some bulb or other, due to the shade being unventilated.

      If not, well: maybe she'll still appreciate it on some level, even if she can't express her appreciation

      At least you still try. That's the most important thing. Maybe you'll never know how much she appreciates it.
      Doesn't seem to have much difficulty expressing herself, sadly it seems to make little sense that I can make anything of. Ho hum.

        In other news, I sent a vacancy notice to the unemployed ZeitNephew for the tuliphole on the hill where I "work".

        He's got an interview next week.

        Happily his surname isn't the same as mine, so maybe he's got a chance.

          I'm sure that in some other production co-starring Charlotte Rampling that child had turned into a serial killer.

          However I may be conflating things a bit.

            Only two sheets to go on the ZeitWashing front.

            Should be done by 8.

            P.M hopefully.

            The ZeitLeakyWashingMachineScavengePump(tm) has been doing sterling service today.

            Odd how the machine can't cope with a pair of jeans & a towel without throwing in the agitation towel, as it were.

              Pox.

              It just started leaking like fury & I only just managed to switch the pump off before it started sucking water.

                    On the first rinse now.

                    Quarter of an hour to go?
