The joy of fixing something that has been broken for over 5 years!!
We had an electrical fault in a socket in the house that connected our dishwasher! But the dishwasher was broken and we didn't use the socket so it got left. Multiple times I tried to find the cause for the issue (a faulty earth) which only affected this one socket!
A had a suspicion that the fault lay behind a cupboard that was put in when we had the kitchen renovated but didn't have sufficient belief that made it worth ripping the cupboards out! Yesterday I freed the cupboard from the attachments and found a live socket and switch point! And inside the switch a disconnected earth wire! I reconnected the earth and the fault cleared.
Joy o joy ... But why couldn't the workmen that did the job have converted the switch and socket into junction boxes! Now I need to decide ~ put the cupboard back or do the conversions first!!
(Get an electrician in!!)

        This is bound to bring some joy to your day. Everything about it is delightful.

        (And the engineering is amazing.)

        Alt...Two women wearing hijabs in a backyard with bright green grass. It is well-lit in the blackness of night. One is riding an exercise bike that is moving a chain connected to a mini pink roller coaster, where the second woman is sitting in a coaster cart. They are laughing while the rider is hoisted up to the top of the hill, before dropping into the small round of the full coaster. Behind them, many children are playing on some swinging toys in a unique, seemingly-homemade, and well-lit playground structure of some sort.

          If you need some joy in your day, this is my gift to you. John Batiste is a gem of a human being. He is also massively talented.

          In this interview from 2023 with Chris Wallace, John talks about the limitations genres put on music. And THEN he genre hops through part of a Beethoven piece on the fly.

          It’s so good. And Chris’ face is priceless. He’s almost giddy.

          Alt...John is a good-looking young Black man with with robustly-styled dreadlocks. He is wearing a tan suit coat, partially open over a low-cut white t-shirt. He’s sitting at a piano in what appears to be a small studio setting. Chris is a middle-aged white man with simple glasses. He’s wearing a suit with a bright-red pocket square over a solid-blue dress shirt and a striped tie.
