It was a dark and ...

Well, just dark really. One of the light circuits in our house is dead, so half the house is in darkness - unfortunately it's the most useful half with the kitchen, bathroom and toilet in it. The problem is with the fuse, but not so much the fuse itself as the whole fuse housing, which is just old and corroded. It's a good job I have a lot of candles.
