Sitting here, quite the thing, just another day in Paradise, when I heard a muffled pop from the back room. Didn't think anything of it and for a good twenty minutes didn't go downstairs. As soon as I poked my head into the area I was assailed by the whiff of burning electrical plastic..
Turns out the lighting circuit for the back room and kitchen had tripped the breaker, but not instantly, and while the defective joint was heating up, the rooms had become quite acrid with a light smoke. Nothing dangerous, just irritating and annoying.
Hey-ho, looks like tommorow will be fault-finding and rectification.
I'm only glad it didn't happen overnight.
