In the dark

We were full last night. One of the guests came down this morning and said that the power had gone off in the bedroom. On closer investigation the power had gone off in all the bedrooms. This was because the 60 Amp fuse in the main fuse box (yes they are lengths of fuse wire) had blown. The electric showers in the rooms are 8.4KW or 36A each. So if more than 2 people have a shower it's going to cause problems. Our aim is to replace the electric showers with ones fed off the hot water system.

Doing 10 breakfasts involves a bit of predicting what folk want. Most people have a fry up, but not all want black pudding and haggis. Almost all want bacon and most want sausages. So we can pre-cook them maybe 15 minutes before breakfast starts and that makes things a bit less fraught when folk all appear at once.
