Frigging

The frigging smoke detector wouldn't stop beeping.
Every minute.

Beep.

Beep.

A PERSON CANNOT SLEEP LIKE THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!

First problem: how the heck to reach the thing mounted on the roof. I don't have a ladder. The chairs get me nowhere near the roof. So moved over my model bookshelf and climbed up on top of that. Talk about an oh&s disaster. *sigh*

But pulling the battery out made no difference (and the battery is all new and tingly, so the detector must just be confused). But I think, after pulling the battery out and killing the whole light circuit in the flat, that there was some capacitance leftover, cause it was still beeping for a few minutes.

But no more!! There is silence!!! Now maybe I can get some sleep!!!!
