Thankfully it has two settings and the second one isnât quite so retina-searing.
When we had the sparks in the other day of course like all trades theyâd forgotten this and that. No ladder - I have plenty. Torch not charged - borrow mine. Unfortunately at some point mine got dropped and broken.
He offered to get me another but I told him not to bother - itâs small beans compared with the bill weâre about to get landed with.

Was watching Hannah Fryâs programme about door bells last night. I didnât realise that Joseph Henry (electromagnetism) had conceived the first door bell of that type.
I didnât realise that Hannah Fry is 6ft tall (at least, thatâs how she described herself).
I have a doorbell of that type though not 19th century. It was lying around the house when we bought the place (1991) so I cleaned it up, modded it slightly so it could run off a 9V battery and fastened it to a wooden backplate. Itâs not really loud (some sort of GPO instrument type I think) but it does the job.
