strange happenings
Anybody here with an electrician in the family? We are having strange happenings in our bedroom and I'm curious to know what's causing it. Sometime between 8 and 9 am every morning for the past week or so the bedside clock/radio and touch lamp both flicker and then turn off. Approx. 12 hours later they turn back on again!! It's spooky!! They are both on different plugs even. I need to turn them both off I know, til we get an electrician, but the switch is behind the bed and we need to move the mattress to get to it.Even though it's Autumn here I'm busy spring-cleaning in preparation for our visitors. Mary is bringing 2 friends from the US and another from Victoria, plus my sister will be joining us as well. They should arrive in Sydney sometime today, having lost a day crossing the International Dateline. Graham and I will leave for Adelaide a week today to meet up with them.
Lovely photos of Spring flowers! Several of our native eremophila bushes are starting to flower, which will be nice for our visitors to see. (Quite a few species flower from Autumn through to Spring, as we have very mild winters here compared to most of North America for instance). The frangipani tree is still in flower also.
Well, I've had my break so had better get on with the dusting.
Happy Easter to everyone,
Fran

Maybe it is just a matter of a loos plug, or loose wire. You say it swith is behind t he mattress, maybe you are hitting with the matteress and it causes it to go off. Check that before you call the electricion.
Is it happening at the same time every day? Did you ever have one of those timers that switch lights on and off while you are away from home?
No, "toby" - plugs weren't loose (we have at last lifted mattress and pulled them out).....and it was happening when we weren't even in the room......
and Laura, no timers either!
