Get the fire brigade!

Well, we've survived 20 years of Seamus O'Timing Device and his boys, and a month of the new wave of unpleasantness,but a faulty circuit has now done what the bombers could not accomplish.

It seems that there was a power surge in Eland House sometime early this morning, which caused a short out in the basement transformer room, and then a fire. So, no power in the building, and no work. Maybe none tomorrow, either, depending upon the damage. I'll know later on, when I phone the information line.

The irony is that I got into Victoria a little earlier than usual, because I have a lot of stuff stacking up to be done. Instead though, four of us decamped to the Costa Coffee in Victoria Station, supped a latté and came home.

Unexpected free time! Hurrah! If only I'd known before I set out this morning... still, mustn't grumble.

you lucky sod!

Ah, if only that would happen in our building, it's old and decayed enough. Still, I'm sure an earthquake will eventually do what wishful thinking can't.

Sadly it all appears to have been fixed, so I have to go in again tomorrow.

Grumble.
