Is It The Gremlins???

Very odd in our house over the last couple of weeks. We seem to be having a lot of electrical items going down. Started with the cooker hood a few weeks ago when the light completely went requiring a new cooker hood. On order waiting patiently for delivery from Homebase...very slow!!  Then the fridge thermostat went two weeks ago on a Saturday, that was £50 for the chap to come out and repair. Now this last week two of the electric timer switches that Vin uses for security lights went and needed replacing. Bought yesterday from Home and Bargain. Then, last night as we were going to bed I switched the hall and landing lights on and the whole house downstairs was plunged into darkness. Fuse blown...first ever in Donkey's years... wonder what the heck is going on. Vin was wondering if it is one of those electrical surges. He did do a great job at twelve thirty at night replacing the fuse though. Proper Mr Fixit he is.
Nice day tday. Had another appointment this morning at ten thirty for a blood pressure test with the nurse in the surgery over the road. Blood test as well for kidney function. The blood pressure is still on the low side which they are pleased about, but she reckons that is due to the losing weight. Stay off the Amlodopine until the next blood pressure test on the 28th march. Came out of there quite quickly so went to Formby to Tesco for petrol. £38 to fill up a bit, then got a few items from the store. . I then suggested that we call in at Waitrose for our pasties for friday which can be frozen, so we went there.  Then home as I thought, but Vin said he would treat me to a Costa from Tesco so we ended up there again. Very nice it was too. We both had Americanos and little shortbread bites and Vin paid which was lovely, an unexpected treat.
Home for lunch and Vin helped me do a standing order for Jane from my online bank. Must say that is very useful. So Jane will get £100 on the 28th of each month starting in March. That will pay her bills I hope.
Tonight we are having:
Pizza with mushrooms and cheese and pepper for Vin.

Salad with avocado and baby plum tomatoes
Potato salad for moi and aubergine and rice salad for Vin.
