  • Update: Didn't die. Few unforseen things - had to re-arrange all the wiring behind the outlet because the new one had terminals in different places to the old one, also the live, earth and neutral wires used a different colour code because the building is so old.

  • Replacement wall outlet like the one below. Exciting eh? One of the sockets at my place is arcing, buzzing and has started blowing fuses of things connected to it. Fairly sure it's the outlet and not the wiring as the socket next to it shares the connectors and is working fine. Off to power off the ring main in my building…

  • Oats made with skimmed milk and a sprinkling of raisins, then a handful of organic peanuts and a banana. Must start mixing protein powder in with the oats.
