... is everything. While watching over the house while the parents are away there are some things that are important. Making sure the house doesn't burn down, keeping the plants alive, not destroying things... that sort of thing. So you can imagine my joy when about 11.30pm Wenesday night while I'm watching tv the power suddenly goes off... and the main trip switch doesn't stay on.
After a visit from the electrician the one thing that had been decided was that there was an internal problem with the electrics and that only partial power had been restored to the house. Turning off everything that was on the problem circuit and turning them on one-by-one I was finally able to restore power to everything apart from the chest freezer, which just kept blowing the fuse.
Alas my mum's freezer policy is to keep all freezers fully stocked at all times which means I have no-where to put anything that is in the chest freezer. What I'm hoping is that the fact that most of the stuff in there has been frozen solid for the last decade and that the freezer has enough thermal insulation to keep everything in it if not frozen, at least good. It only has to last until the end of the weekend...
